The British Embassy in Sanaa issued a statement on Saturday saying it made the decision after receiving threats from an al-Qaeda-linked group, NewsYemen reported.

"We have temporarily suspended operations at our embassy until additional security measures are put in place," a British Foreign Office spokeswoman in London was quoted by AFP as saying.

The announcement comes days after 16 people were killed in two simultaneous attacks at the US diplomatic facility in Sanaa. Wednesday's attack was the second against the American premises over the past six months.

Following the incident Yemeni security authorities arrested 30 people suspected of being involved with the attacks.

A Yemeni Interior Ministry statement said on Saturday that the suspects were continuing to be interviewed in connection with the investigation.

The statement added that the ministry was taking appropriate measures to restore security and stability in the country.

"Different security services and elements had put in place a total state of alert…security measures around diplomatic missions has been reinforced following terrorist threats," the statement said.
