A bit more info from elsewhere on teh interwebs:

• The "protestors" got onto the embassy grounds, tore down the sign, burned the flag and some sort of minor outbuilding.

• NBC claiming 4-10k people showed up, and when they tried to break into the building itself and loot the Yemeni guards started shooting. The guards themselves took 24 casualties.

• No US personnel harmed or unaccounted for

• Pres. of Yemen immediately issued "personal apology" to Zero. (Even if he didn't mean it that's still more than can be said for Egypt or Libya or Iran or Morocco or any other hellhole).

All the above info subject to the 24 hr rule

Why haven’t they evacuated US personnel out of these places? They should’ve already been moved out and a bunch of marines moved in.
