An American woman, named Susan Elbaneh, was killed in the terror attack at the U.S. Embassy in Sanna, Yemen, the State Department confirmed Thursday.
Both Elbaneh and her Yemeni husband were killed in the attack, the Associated Press quoted an unidentified official as reporting.
Earlier on Wednesday, an attack outside U.S. embassy in Yemen resulted in the killing of six assailants, six soldiers and four civilians. No American personnel in the embassy were killed and injured, according to Wednesday reports.
A radical group calling itself the Islamic Jihad in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack.
Recent years have witnessed a string of terror attacks by Islamic militants in Yemen where al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was reportedly born.
