(CNN) -- Suspected al Qaeda insurgents disguised as security forces launched an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Yemen's capital, Sanaa Wednesday killing 10 Yemeni police and civilians, officials said.

A police vehicle drives near the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa shortly after the car bomb exploded. 1 of 2 The attack involved two car bombs, a spokesman for Yemen's embassy in Washington said. Six attackers, including a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest, were also killed in the attack, Mohammed al-Basha said.

Senior State Department officials said no U.S. Embassy employees were killed in blasts, which witnesses said created a fireball that shook nearby buildings."

1. A US Embassy is legally sovereign US soil.
Therefore, Bush has FAILED. Again. We HAVE BEEN ATTACKED again by terrorists.

Throw all these fuckers in jail.
