Yemeni soldiers walks outside the Yemeni Defense Ministry in Sanaa on December 6, 2014 after American journalist Luke Somers and a South African hostage were killed during a failed attempt by US special forces to free them from Al-Qaeda militants in Yemen. President Barack Obama condemned the "barbaric murder" of Somers, saying he had authorised the joint rescue operation because the life of the 33-year-old photojournalist was believed to be "in imminent danger".
