Yemen sends thousands of troops to fight Qaeda
[Al Arabiya Latest] Yemen has sent thousands of security forces to take part in a campaign against al-Qaeda in three provinces, and authorities have detained five suspected fighters from the group, a security source said on Tuesday. "The campaign is continuing in the capital and in the provinces of Shabwa and Maarib," the source told Reuters, speaking on customary condition of anonymity. The manhunt is also going on in the southern province of Abyan.
Zindani's neither in jug nor dead. They're not really serious.

Meanwhile, the United States embassy in Yemen reopened on Tuesday, an embassy official said, a day after Yemeni forces killed two al-Qaeda militants they said were behind a threat that had forced U.S. and European missions to close.

"We are reopened," a U.S. embassy official said. The embassy had closed on Sunday in response to what it said were al-Qaeda threats and came as concern grew about stability in the poorest Arab country.

The British and French embassies resumed operations but remained closed to the public, diplomats at those embassies said.
