abstract	Beginning at around 1:30 P.M. (10:30 UTC) the AQAP carried out four coordinated attacks in the capital Sana'a. The attacks consisted of a series of two suicide bombs and two coordinated attacks targeting the Yemeni Army Headquarters, the Yemeni intelligence headquarters, the main market and the U.S. Embassy. At the Yemeni Army Headquarters, the car refused to stop at the security gate, forcing the soldiers to open fire on the driver, who drove into a staff car, where he afterwards detonated the car bomb. Along with the suicide bomber were 8 Yemeni soldiers and 3 civilians killed in the blast. At the main market, a suicide bomber detonated his west among a large crowd of civilians, killing 17 people and wounding 46. As the police and the military were preoccupied in the chaos resulting from these two attacks, 10 AQAP members disguised in police uniforms split into two groups attacked the headquarters of the Yemeni intelligence agency Political Security Organization (PSO). While one fired RPG rockets at the intelligence building and forced their way inside; the other group attempted to free prisoners held there. During the exchange of fire, 10 security personnel, and four civilians were killed. The attackers escaped in a vehicle. Finally, another group of 10 AQAP members launched an assault on the U.S. embassy, firing RPG rockets while the rest attempted to make their way into the building, with the goal of killing the U.S. ambassador. However, the security guards managed to fight of the attackers, who fled in a car. 7 people were killed, including 3 security guards and 4 U.S. citizens killed by a RPG rocket.
