The Obama administration has sent a platoon of US Marines into Yemen, reportedly on temporary deployment with the sole task of providing extra security for the American Embassy after it was stormed by protesters.
“Because of the split in the army and the security forces, we allowed a limited number of Marine forces to protect the American embassy only,” Yemen’s Prime Minister Mohammed Basindwa’s media adviser Rajeh Bady told Reuters.
“They are here temporarily for a limited amount of time and they will leave Yemen,” he said.
