U.S. embassy allows travel in Yemen

The U.S. Embassy in Yemen Saturday lifted a travel restriction on its citizens in the country, saying they are now allowed to move more freely.

An embassy statement in Sanaa said American residents could now travel between the cities while maintaining caution and changing their routes.

But it warned the security threats to American citizens are still high due to the terrorist activities in Yemen.

The diplomatic mission advised against traveling to Saada province in northern Yemen where armed clashes continued between the government forces and Islamic rebels.

The American embassy closed its doors for two days on April 10 following terror alerts against U.S. interests in the country, urging its citizens against traveling in the country and to take caution within the capital and other big cities
