The US embassy in Sanaa, Yemen was attacked on Tuesday; unfortunately the three mortar rounds hit the nearby school instead of the mission.
13 girls and 3 guards were injured in the mortar attack. Of the 13 students, 3 are in critical condition as of the moment. One guard who was patrolling at the back of the embassy was immediately killed.
Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh said in a statement to the press that the perpetrators are “terrorists.” He offered a hefty reward for any information leading to their capture.

Serbs were set to free their arrested comrades as if they were the law.
300 of them fought with UN and Kosovo Force (KFOR: NATO troops) in Mitrovica after the latter group were forced to storm the courthouse that they had been occupying since Friday.
After arrests were made inside the premises, three UN vehicles (like the one that was burned: pictured below) were attacked by the Serbs to free their recently captured comrades. Out of the 53 arrested inside, only 33 remained in custody as 20 escaped with the help of the protesters.
