(Reuters) - Masked gunmen shot dead a Yemeni security chief on his way to work at the U.S. embassy in Sanaa on Thursday, in an attack a Yemeni security source said appeared to be the work of al Qaeda.

The incident was the latest of a wave of attacks on officials in the impoverished Arab state, which is battling Islamist militants with Washington's help.

Something nobody is talking about today after the hearings yesterday ..... how many shoulder-fired weapons that could be used to take down commercial airplanes have gone missing in Libya. Wood & Nordstrom confirmed 10-20,000!!!!

Grilled by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) about the instability in Libya and the growing al Qaeda threat following the U.S. intervention to topple dictator Moammar Gadhafi last year, Wood testified that, “their presence grows every day. They are certainly more established than we are.”

He also said that some 10,000 to 20,000 shoulder-fired missiles are missing from Libyan arsenals.

Security Chief assassinated? Don’t be surprised if this isn’t the harbinger to yet another Al Queda assault. I hope Team Cankles takes the writing on the wall seriously this time.

Here is the deal. If you don’t meet terrorism with twice the force it has dealt, then terrorism will become commonplace. Why do people think we had almost zero terrorism in this country until the 90’s? I’ll tell you why. Because we would not capitulate to ANY of their demands and when they committed an act of terrorism we SMASHED THEM!!!!

America’s leaders have gone soft. AMERICANS; not so much.

Maybe Obama and Hillary can use that Pakistani video in Yemen to apologize for that anti Muslim film again here?

Agreed. But we should have done it on September 12, 2001.

What was the reason this time? Gone with the wind? It’s a Wonderful Life? Or maybe the Odd Couple for Mo-Ham-Mud and his goat.

What will the ministry of propaganda use to spin this/
