Agreement to merge Yemen's intelligence services
2012-04-28
[Yemen Post] Yemen President Abdurabu Mansour Hadi
...the second and possibly the last president of Yemen, successor to former President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh...
and Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Robert Mueller have agreed to merge the Political Security and the National Security, the two intelligence services, well informed sources affirmed.

Sources close to the Military Committee formed under the GCC deal said that they further discussed the increase of Al-Qaeda activities, Iran's influence in Yemen as well as possibilities of cooperation with regional and international states to encounter Iran's activities.

The sources said they discussed the reorganization of Yemen's security and military services and ending the divisions of the military according to scientific and modern approaches that could facilitate the defeat of Al-Qaeda.

Mueller affirmed to Hadi that the White House will not accept any repeating of rebellions against Hadi's decrees in the upcoming days, the sources went on.

During the meeting, Hadi demanded the US government to provide Yemen's army with complicated weapons to encounter Al-Qaeda.

Mueller arrived in Sana'a on Tuesday and discussed Yemen's updates and how to translate the GCC deal into realty. He affirmed that the US will strongly supports Yemen at all levels to achieve stability and security and create atmosphere of development and progress.

Hadi highly appreciated Washington's attitudes toward Yemen, pointing out that the US played significant role in reaching a political settlement in Yemen.

In the meeting attended by the US Ambassador to Yemen, Gerald Feierstein, Hadi and Muller discussed efforts of counterterrorism, in particular fighting against Al-Qaeda in some southern governorates.

Feierstein has praised the government's renewed offensive against Al Qaeda, coming after months in which the terror group had taken advantage of internal turmoil to overrun parts of the south.
