Most of the U.S. embassies and consulates closed this week because of a worldwide terrorism alert will reopen Sunday, though tension remains high and fear of an attack persists, the U.S. State Department said Friday.

Diplomatic posts in Sana, the Yemeni capital, and in the Pakistan city of Lahore will remain closed because of specific threats to those sites, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in Washington.

Eighteen of the 19 U.S. missions closed as a precaution against credible threats of terrorism against Western interests will reopen after a full week's closure on Sunday, the start of the Muslim world's work week and the resumption of normal business after the fast month of Ramadan and the Eid al-Fitr holiday that followed.
