SANAA, March 19 (Reuters) - European envoys in Sanaa have unfurled their countries' flags on their cars to avoid being mistaken for Americans, who have come under attack in Yemen amid heightened anti-U.S. sentiment, diplomats said on Wednesday.
Cars belonging to European embassies were also seen bearing stickers that spelled out their country's name in Arabic. Diplomats said this was a precaution against attacks.
Yemen is the ancestral home of Osama bin Laden, Washington's main suspect in the September 2001 attacks on U.S. cities. The country is seen by the West as a haven for Muslim militants but its government has taken steps to arrest suspected members of bin Laden's al Qaeda network.
On Tuesday, a Yemeni man shot and killed an American and a Canadian working on a rig run by a U.S. oil firm in Yemen.

As anti-war sentiment rises in other countries, U.S. colleges are warning their students studying abroad to avoid demonstrations, street corner debates on U.S. foreign policy and clothes that identify them as Americans.
But just to be on the safe side, some students are passing themselves off as Canadian.
In interviews over the past week, students and faculty overseas said the anti-American sentiment they've encountered has been directed at the Bush administration — not at U.S. citizens.
"As far as being an American in Italy, I don't in any way feel unsafe," said Christopher Bottoni, a junior at Pennsylvania's Villanova University who is studying in Milan.
Back home in New Jersey, Bottoni's father, Lou, is a bit more apprehensive. "Am I worried?" he said. "There's no question about it."
