(KCEN) -- A Yemeni man investigating last month's attack on the American Embassy, was shot and killed today on his way to work.

The country's Interior Minister says a gunman on a motorcycle shot at the man's vehicle.

He claims this was trademark work of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The State Department says they were saddened over today's shooting.

According to a Yemeni official, this sends a message that anyone who works with Americans can be targeted.
