South Korean bomb blast survivor Hong Sun-hee, 54, is transported by rescue workers upon her arrival from Yemen, at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, March 17, 2009. An al Qaeda suicide bomber carried out the attack, which killed four South Korean tourists in Yemen, a Yemeni security official said on Monday. The attack on Sunday, which is likely to damage the impoverished Arab country's tourism sector, came after repeated calls by al Qaeda militant leaders to target non-Muslim foreigners in the Arabian Peninsula.
