While violating security protocol and visiting a local barbershop in Yemen, two US embassy nationals were the victims of an attempted kidnapping by two al Qaeda gunmen. After being confronted by the two gunmen, the US nationals engaged in a gun fight and stopped the two suspected kidnappers. US-Yemeni officials believe that the kidnapping attempt was bigger than initially believed and could be an al Qaeda response to the drone attacks in other parts of Yemen, these strikes on al Qaeda forces have been going on for some time and have been taking a toll on the forces that are trenched down in Yemen.
