Yemen's Al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for a rocket that hit near the US embassy in Sanaa Saturday, shortly after the mission said it was unlikely the target.
"Ansar al-Sharia have targeted the US embassy in Sanaa with a (shoulder-launched) LAW rocket," the 'jihadist' group posted on Twitter.
The attack came "in revenge for Muslim children targeted by a US drone when it bombed in Jawf province on Friday," the statement said.
