The Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has ruled out the involvement of the extremists of whom the Yemeni authorities arrested several of them recently of planning to explode the American embassy in Sanaa and considered that the Americans gave this matter a large but groundless dimension.

News reports quoted Saleh as saying in a statement issued in the Yemeni dailies on Saturday that available information to the Yemeni authorities deny the involvement of the arrested members in the explosion case.

The Yemeni President, on the other hand, denied any crisis between Yemen and the US. He explained he had received assertions from the US state department on that there are no traces for a possible crisis between the two countries because of the information that reached the Americans on the possibility of blowing the American consulate while they ask for visas from the said consulate.

Worthy mentioning that on June 9th the US closed off its embassy in Yemen and evacuated its unnecessary diplomats.
