Yemen: Anger in Sanaa over US Marine presence

Sanaa, the Yemeni capital is once again on high-alert after a French magazine released controversial cartoon depictions of the Prophet Mohammed only days after protests over an anti-Islam video.

In an effort to boost security in the city, Washington has sent in dozens of Marines to protect the US embassy.

In a nation where drone strikes targeting al-Qaeda fighters have killed civilians, the Marines' presence has caused a controversy among the political and religious leadership.

They say it's a breach of their sovereignty.
