===Al-Salem letter threats===
Jews in Yemen reportedly fled their homes due to threats from Muslim extremists. [[Al-Qaeda]] members sent letters to 45 Jews living in al-Salem (near Sana'a) on January 19, 2007, accusing them of involvement in an "international Zionist conspiracy". The Jewish community sent a complaint to President [[Ali Abdullah Saleh]] and temporarily moved to a hotel near Sana'a. The Yemeni government promised to protect their homes and reassured them that they could return.<ref name=SALEMTHREAT>{{cite web|title=News Brief|date=January 23, 2007 |url=http://www.jta.org/2007/01/23/archive/jews-in-yemen-reportedly-fled-their-homes-due|publisher=Jewish Telegraphic Agency|access-date=September 28, 2016|archive-date=October 2, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161002043056/http://www.jta.org/2007/01/23/archive/jews-in-yemen-reportedly-fled-their-homes-due|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Yemenite Jews under pressure from Muslim extremists|url=http://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/yemenite-jews-under-pressure-from-muslim-extremists|website=World Jewish Congress|date=January 23, 2007|access-date=September 28, 2016|archive-date=October 3, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161003234709/http://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/yemenite-jews-under-pressure-from-muslim-extremists|url-status=live}}</ref>
