[AnNahar] The Shiite militia that has taken control in Yemen's capital accused Western powers Thursday of trying to exert pressure by closing their embassies, criticizing the hasty exit of diplomatic staff as "unjustified".
| You wanted us infidels gone, and now you want us to stay... |
| Can't have kidnapping for fun'n'profit if the kidnapees all leave. Have you no respect for the local culture? |
| Pshaw. There's always someone to kidnap. Cousin Fatima will start looking pretty good at some point... |
The United States, Britannia and La Belle France have rushed to close their embassies over security fears in Yemen with U.S. staff destroying top-secret documents and abandoning vehicles at the airport Wednesday.
But Hussein al-Ezzi, described as the Shiite Huthi militia's head of foreign relations, said the closures were designed to put "pressure" on the Yemeni people.
