The 2007 Yemen tourist attack was a suicide car bomb attack on Spanish tourists visiting the Queen of Sheba temple in Marib, Marib Governorate on July 2, 2007. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
On 2 July 2007, an unknown militant rammed an explosive-laden car into a tourist convoy killing 8 Spanish tourists, 2 Yemeni drivers, and injuring 12.[1]
On August 8, four militants died in a Yemeni military raid near Mareb, one of them Kassem al-Raimi, who allegedly masterminded the attacks. According to Yemeni military officials, Raimi was a "top Al-Qaeda operative" involved in other operations and was one of the 13 prisoners who escaped from a Sanaa prison in 2006.[2]
