SANAA, Yemen, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, Yemen, was closed but not evacuated Monday, following a weekend of chaos as rebels overtook the Yemen government.
A statement from the U.S. State Department said the embassy would be indefinitely closed to the public "out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others." Over 200 people remain on duty at the embassy.
