Although it’s more likely that the mortar attack’s main target was the U.S. Embassy, students at the adjacent girls’ school are the ones paying the price.
SANA’A, March 19 — Students at the July 7 High School for girls remain shocked after their school was bombarded by three mortar rounds that exploded in the perimeter between the school and the U.S. embassy compound in Sana’a on Tuesday afternoon.
One Yemeni security guard stationed at the site died and five additional security personnel were injured. Also injured were 13 girls, three of whom are in critical condition and were flown to Jordan for urgent medical care.
Only a few girls dared attend school on Wednesday, while others remained at home to recover from the shock. Both the schoolyard and the neighborhood were packed with security still investigating the incident and attempting to restore stability.

むちゃくちゃなことしよるやつらがいるもんやねぇ、、どこのやつらがやったの？
hiroさん、コメントありがとうございます。一昨日、校長に昼食に誘われたついでに現場を見てきました。本当に建物の一部が吹っ飛ぶといのは凄惨です。周囲はイエメン軍が警戒していました。犯人は捕まらないだろう、と校長は言っていましたが。学校のアメリカのひとたちもかなり不安な様子です。どんな理由であれ教育の場がテロに曝されるのは堪えられません。
