SAN'A, Yemen - At least 16 people died Wednesday after car bombers wearing military uniforms targeted the U.S. Embassy in Yemen, officials said. No Americans were reported injured.
An initial blast outside the heavily-fortified compound's main gate was followed by "several secondary explosions" at around 9:15 a.m. local time, an embassy spokesman said.
According to Yemeni officials, the blasts were followed by an intense 10-minute gunbattle.
