All Yemenis condemn the terrorist attack against peaceful foreign nationals. I was saddened by the death of the Spanish tourists in Marib. The reputation of the country again has been tarnished. Another industry – tourism, yet again will fail to rise.

We share condolences with the Spaniards. In fact, the Yemeni authorities should not let the tourists' death go in vain.

To remember their death, I suggest to the Yemeni Ministry of Tourism and Environment to send memorial gravestones from Belquis Shrine stones, in Marib, to be laid on the victims' graves.
