The Foreign Office warned that there may be a retaliation against Western outlets in Yemen following the killing last week of six suspected al-Qaeda members, including Osama Bin Laden's top lieutenant in the country, Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi.

The Foreign Office has issued warnings to British people planning to travel to parts of the Middle East because of the threat of terrorism.
They have been advised to avoid Yemen except on non-essential business, and to be vigilanr in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The warnings come amid the tightening of measures to tackle the threat of terrorism, and a day after the Home Office issued an alert in error.
It spoke of the danger of terrorist attacks including "dirty" nuclear bombs in the UK.
