The bodyguard of the German ambassador to Yemen has been shot dead while attempting to protect her from an attempted kidnapping, say reports.
Gunmen in a vehicle opened fire at Ambassador Carola Muller-Holtkemper and her bodyguard as they were leaving a supermarket in the capital Sana'a's southern Hada district, where foreign embassies are located.
It is understood Ms Muller-Holtkemper was not injured in the incident.
A security source told Reuters the attack bore the hallmarks of the al Qaeda terror network's Yemeni branch, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
The group has attempted to attack several Western targets, including airliners.
Germany was among several Western countries which closed their embassies in August following US warnings of a major terror attack in the Middle East.
No attack took place and the embassies were later reopened.
