Ananova : Grenade hurled at US embassy ===================== A university student has thrown a hand-grenade at the US Embassy in the Yemeni capital San'a, hitting a tree but injuring no-one. Samir Yahya Awadh has been arrested by security personnel within moments as he reached in his pocket for another grenade. A State Department spokesman in Washington said the explosion was a block or so from the embassy. Yemeni police and soldiers closed off streets around the embassy and searched vehicles. Witnesses had reported seeing a car speeding from the site after the explosion. The blast comes a day after US Vice President Dick Cheney visited San'a airport for two hours of talks with Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh on the war on terrorism. Security in Yemen has been a top concern of the United States since a boat laden with explosives slammed into the destroyer Cole in October 2000, killing 17 American sailors in an attack the United States links to Osama bin Laden.
