WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An 18-year-old U.S. citizen was killed in the suicide attacks on the U.S. embassy in Sanaa on Wednesday, the State Department said on Thursday.

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack identified the woman as Susan el-Baneh, saying she was killed while standing in line with two members of her family who were applying for visas to visit the United States.
