Pressure off the coast of al-Qaeda.

 the capital Sanaa has seen intense fighting between tribal fighters and these days the Yemen and for the wrong reasons issues unfortunately mainly security forces.

With the power drag slowly far President Ali Abdullah Saleh and armed clashes, killing dozens of people since Monday, there is concern that the country could disintegrate in a series of intertribal conflicts with repercussions throughout the region.

The Yemen is already home to al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula (AQAP), a small but dangerous group who tried to blow up an airliner over Detroit U.S. and sending bombs in the aircraft cargo bound for the United States last year.

Until this spring, AQAP was coming under pressure from mounting forces to fight the terrorism of the Government, supported and trained by the United States and Great Britain, and the air strikes by us unmanned aerial drones.

But with President Saleh having to fight for its own survival, the pressure is in part off the coast of al-Qaeda, which has been re-arming itself into chaos.

Neighbouring Gulf of Yemen, the six Arab States of the Gulf which are the Council for cooperation of the Gulf (GCC), are deeply concerned by the deteriorating crisis.

They fear weakness in the economy of the country could collapse completely, coupled with an upsurge in the fighting, could trigger a wave of refugees across the borders into Saudi Arabia and Oman.

The GCC, encouraged by Britain and the United States, made repeated attempts to descend Saleh President sign a transfer agreement that would see him step in exchange for immunity from prosecution by the Government of national unity who succeeded him. So far, he refused.

No Plan B

Yemen is faced with problems that go beyond the crisis of leadership or al-Qaida.

The poorest countries in the Arab world, its oil reserves are away, and therefore is groundwater capital, prompting fears it could be the first capital of the world to run out of water.

South of Yemen, who tries in vain to break with the most powerful North in 1994, has established separatist movement.

An insurrection of Shiites of long duration in the North dragged in forces from Saudi Arabia and, according to the Yemen, has also conducted interference in Iran.

Unemployment is high, there are too many guns in private hands, and a large part of the adult population waste valuable income and most of their afternoons to chew the narcotic qat sheet. In addition, Yemen is to find herself supporting thousands of Somali refugees.

International sympathy and attention briefly on the Yemen in the January 2010 London Conference, but a large part of promised billions of dollars of aid did not yet reach the people who need more.

The Arab world and the West that would like a Government of national unity bringing together take followed by a revival of the economy, but it does not appear to be a Plan B to President Saleh, refusing to be able to.

Captured Al-Qaeda: foreign fighters "converging" in Pakistan

 A Moroccan al-Qaeda operative captured in Afghanistan, said the coalition forces earlier this month that foreign fighters were "convergence" in Pakistan in an attempt to carry out attacks across the border in Afghanistan, the Force of the International Assistance Security said late Monday.

The captive without a name, which is described as a "facilitator of foreign fighter Germany-based Moroccan al-Qaeda", was captured by the coalition and Afghan forces on May 8 in Southeast Afghanistan.

"After his capture, the facilitator has provided details on his personal journeys of the Germany," a statement from ISAF said. "" "". He also observed foreign countries converge in Pakistan to carry out attacks against the forces of the coalition in Afghanistan. ?

In the same operation in Afghanistan in which the host has been captured, the ISAF said they recover passports and identity cards of the France, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia among insurgents killed 10.

U.S. Army considers it y about 100 fighters of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan at any time, more Arab countries and Pakistan, although the European hunters have been spotted in increasing numbers in recent years. Almost all come them in Pakistani tribal areas, according to the United States, Afghan and Pakistani officials.

"The Afghanistan region and Pakistan appears to be a revolving door for extremists," said a report of April 2011 in the army. "The flow of foreign hunting in the area of the Afghanistan and Pakistan seems to flow strongly both in and out of the region".

Two days after the capture of the moderator, the ISAF to the United States major-General John Campbell has told reporters that ISAF had received reports of an influx of foreign fighters to join because of the al-Qaeda in Afghanistan after the Navy SEAL raid which killed the leader of the Group of the terreurOussama Ben LadenMay 2. However, he said that his men did not yet their meeting.

"I have seen a large number of foreign fighters come through since the death of Osama bin Laden," said Campbell. "I will tell you, in the year - if I put a guesstimate of the percentage - it really is about 80 per cent are of Afghanistan, and it is likely [p] of 15 to 20 percent of the foreign fighters...". I think that has increased or decreased here in recent months. ?

The Moroccan captured is apparently also provide information on the relocation of Afghanistan from all foreign fighters in the world and describes his own trip to the front lines of the Germany. ISAF said he hoped that information "support targeting the network of facilitators who bring global terrorism to focus on the forces of the coalition and civilians in Afghanistan."

Although ISAF has refused to provide details on the Moroccan personal travel, he said that the facilitator said that on his trip was delayed in Iran, he is approached and asked to become a suicide bomber.

"However, he refused because of his goal to world participate in the Jihad," said the statement from ISAF.

The host is not the first to travel with success of the Germany in the Middle East in the hope of joining the jihad there. In fall 2010, American forces captured German national Ahmed Siddiqui describes a conspiracy of terror "multi-city" against Europe. Siddiqui, said that the plan had been personally blessed by bin Laden.

Us drone "Al-Qaeda missed head."

Anwar al-Awlaki heads more active the world US attack drone to the Yemen targeted al-Qaida cell, but did not kill one of the most influential figures of al-Qaeda, reports say.

The radical Yemeni cleric U.S. - born Anwar al-Awlaki is the Chief of al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula.

Two brothers believed to be responsible for al-Qaeda Palermo died in a strike of drone Yemen South Thursday, Yemeni authorities said.

The attack came only days after al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by the US Navy Seals.

The Pentagon refused to comment on reports that Anwar al-Awlaki was specifically targeted to the Yemen.

According to the Ministry of defence of the Yemen, the missile fired by the drone struck a car in Shabwa province, carrying two brothers identified the Yemeni as Musa representatives ' id and Abdullah Mubarak.

But reports from Washington suggested now American commanders believed that they had a more valuable target of al-Qaida in focus.

"We were hoping it was him," an anonymous U.S. official told CBS News.

The reported attempt to kill Mr. Awlaki seems to be the first known U.S. military strike at the Yemen since May 2010 when missiles killed by mistake one of the envoys of Mr. Saleh.

In September, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the country stated that these strikes without a driver had been suspended.

The report comes as Yemen continue to take the streets to demand that Ali Abdullah Saleh, President for 30 years, resign.

Links to attackers

According to the Wall Street Journal, there are several attempts to target Mr. Awlaki Thursday.

He escaped an initial attack of three rockets on a vehicle in which he was travelling and then swapped cars with two brothers, who were killed in a second strike by a single drone, said the newspaper.

Washington considers the branch based in the al-Qaida cell of more active terror of the world Yemen.

Estimated to have about 300 fighters in the Yemeni, grouped bastions around the mountain ranges where the central Government has little reach.

The group is said to have inspired attacks by Muslims in the territory of the United States and plots to move explosives aboard planes to the United States.

Some analysts are convinced that, after the death of bin Laden, Mr. Awlaki represents the most serious threat.

A member of the American clergy of Yemeni origin, he was placed on a blacklist of terrorism in July 2010 and had imposed financial sanctions on him.

American officials say Mr. Awlaki helped recruit Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of attempting to blow up an airliner as it flew into Detroit on December 25, 2009.

Maj. Nidal Hasan, psychiatrist accused of killing 13 comrades in the Fort Hood shooting in 2009, the army asked religious Council Mr. Awlaki and saw to preach in the State of Virginia, U.S. in 2001, American officials say.

A recognized student guilty of attempted murder MP British Stephen Timms in London would also have been inspired by Mr. Awlaki online sermons.

"big Love" Ben Laden-style: more young woman knows the leader that killed al-Qaeda

The U.S. Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin-Laden and removed a bonanza of documents and flash drives may have left behind another vital source of intelligence - bin-Laden's wife, Amal Ahmed Abdul Fatah. The story of how she found her way back to bin-Laden's hideout in Pakistan from Yemen could well have revealed crucial clues as to whether or not Pakistani authorities had been aware of the al-Qaeda leader's presence in their country. And if U.S. officials had been tracking her at the time, they may have found bin-Laden sooner.

The White House says that Amal, 24, was shot in the calf when she charged at the SEALs who burst into bin-Laden's bedroom, presumably trying to protected her husband. Bin-Laden's body and that of his his Hamza were taken away for burial in the Arabian Sea. But Amal was left behind along with her young daughter, Safiyah, who Pakistani officials say witnessed her father's killing. It is not clear how many of the dozen other children in the compound were bin-Laden's. Pakistani officials say bin Laden's wife and daughter are now recovering in a military hospital in Rawalpindi, and they have released Amal's passport photograph. (See "As Pakistan Pleads Incompetence, Tougher Questions Go Unanswered.")

The photograph shows a pale young woman with generous lips. In accordance with Islamic convention, her face is framed by a head scarf and she is wearing No. lipstick or make-up. Later Pakistani press reports suggested that bin Laden may have had several other wives staying with him, but his original spouses are believed to be in Syria, Saudi Arabia and in Iran, possibly under house arrest.

In 2002, Amal reportedly gave an interview to a Saudi woman's magazine, al-Majalla, in which she explained how, after the 9/11 attacks, she had made her way out of Afghanistan back to Yemen with assistance from Pakistani officials.

As bin-Laden's widow told her Saudi interview at the time, "when the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan started, we moved to a mountainous area with some children and lived in one of the caves for two months until one of his sons came with a group of tribesmen and took us with them." "I did not know that we were going to Pakistan until they handed us over to the pakistani government."

Shares of that account were confirmed to TIME in a telephone interview with an Arab woman who prefers not to be identified, but who knew bin Laden personally in Afghanistan and whose family formed part of al-Qaeda's inner circle. After 9/11, al Qaeda's leadership had decided to evacuate their families. She says: "all the families had to leave Afghanistan swiftly." "They didn't want their women and children captured." However, one of bin Laden's training aid in Yemen insists Amal never reached home. (Does Osama bin Laden's young daughter share his beliefs?)

After bin-Laden's young bride-Amal was then 19 - was turned over to the Pakistani authorities, she and her daughter were released and allowed to fly home to Ibb Safiya, a town not far from Sanaa, Yemen's capital, where her father worked as a minor civil servant.

Goal bin-Laden somehow arranged for his young wife to I him, with the kids, in hiding in Pakistan. In her Saudi magazine interview, she was asked if she would I her fugitive husband. Her enigmatic reply: "Let us see what happens." Pakistani press quoted officials as saying that Amal claimed to have been living with bin Laden in the Abbottabad safe house for five years.

With the benefit of hindsight, it seems that U.S. counter-terrorism experts spent years trying to decipher the name and the whereabouts of bin Laden's elusive courier when keeping tabs on his comely, young wife might have led them to him sooner.

Then there's the question of whether Pakistani authorities had been aware that bin-Laden's bride had returned to their country. Robert Grenier, a former Director of the CIA's Counter-Terrorism Center and security expert, says it's impossible not to imagine that the Pakistanis could have let Amal leave the country, and fail to detect her return. "the pakistanis would want to get her back home," Grenier tells TIME. "There are cultural taboos that come up with women." "They certainly wouldn't can't facilitate her interrogation by foreigners." (See "The bin Laden Raid: Pakistan Feels the Heat of U.S. Mistrust.")

So far, Pakistan is refusing to let U.S. officials anywhere near Amal, now under guard in hospital. Chances are, that won't change - cultural taboos aside, she may also know too many uncomfortable truths. Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani said Thursday that Pakistani is ordering all but the "minimum essential" American staff to leave Pakistan, a sign that the tense relations between Pakistan and the U.S. have worsened as a result of the Abottabad raid.

Pakistan's security establishment has long been accused of playing a double game, taking trillion in U.S. aid money while secretly select backing militant jihadi in Afghanistan and in Pakistan's tribal region. Even al-Qaeda types were expected to play ball. The Arab woman formerly connected to al-Qaeda says: "There was an understanding with the Pakistani army." We would get a tip-off that the army planned to raid one of our houses in the tribal area. "we would flee but leave some 'evidence' behind so that the army could show to the americans that we d been there."

While CIA Director Leon Panetta said this week that "either (the Pakistanis) were involved or incompetent." "neither is a good place to be." Attic suggests a more complex scenario: "I'm not giving an alibi for the Pakistanis, but it's virtually inconceivable that Osama and those close to him would have voluntarily allowed their presence to be known by Pakistani officials, especially given the large number of his followers captured by Pakistan." We don't trust the Pakistanis. "why should he?" On the other hand, he adds, "But if his whereabouts were discovered by the Pakistani officials, I can envision them saying, 'He's keeping a low profile, and if we turn him over to the Americans it will create a real fire storm for us'." (Read more about the CIA's rare public victory.)

Amal may be said to have leaped to her husband's defense during the raid, but her acquaintance interviewed by TIME remembers her SEAL as shy and meek when she was first brought to Kandahar in 2000, and was staying with one of bin-Laden's other wives. "she was new." She was out of place. The Sheikh's other wives were much older than she was. "so were many of his sons," the source claims.

Amal was his fifth wife. His first, Saada, never got over the fact that the billionaire's its she married preferred living in a simple hut in Afghanistan to a palace back home. In 2000, bin-Laden sent a trusted Yemeni help, Abual-IFAD, on the hunt for a new bride. As IFAD later told an interviewer, bin-Laden wanted his new wife to be religious, generous, well brought up, quiet, calm and young enough not to feel jealous of the Sheikh's other wives."

Despite the huge age gap, the Yemeni family considered it an honor to marry off their daughter to bin-Laden. The al-Qaeda chief reportedly paid $5,000 in jewelry and clothes for his teenaged bride who was then brought to Afghanistan to marry the grizzled warrior - already on the U.S. most-wanted list for his role in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. "To me, it's astonishing that she came back to join him [in Pakistan]," said the source with ties to al-Qaeda training. "None of the other fighters brought back their wives." Purpose did the Pakistani authorities know that she had returned from Yemen? With bin-Laden's wife now in Pakistani custody, the White House won't find out any time soon.

Drone kills 2 suspected Al-Qaeda to the Yemen

 A plane suspected U.S. drone fired a missile at a car in the Yemen in the South Thursday, killing two brothers believed to be activists of al-Qaida, said the security officials and tribal.

Ministry of defence of the Yemen confirmed the death of the brothers in the province of Shabwa, but would provide any more details.

In September, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the said country was no longer allowing unmanned aircraft missile attacks. But after the al-Qaida in smuggling of explosives in the aircraft cargo related to the United States at the end of October, it is believed the strikes resumed.

In the Yemen, which is wracked by massive protests against the President very unpopular, is also houses one of the most active branches of al-Qaeda, which has planned several attacks against the United States.

Security of Shabwa provincial and tribal officials reached by telephone identified the two brothers as Abdullah and Mubarak Geographic, but they have not explained why they were sure that the attacks were conducted by unmanned aircraft.

The spoke to officials on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the incident.

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as the local branch calls itself, is estimated at about 300 fighters with built strongholds in the provinces of Shabwa and Abyan, Jouf, Marib, regions of daunting mountains where central authority has virtually no presence.

And attacking Government targets, the Group has inspired attacks by Muslims in the United States and two times more contraband explosives the plane headed to America.

The United States originally led a campaign of drone strikes similar to the one who killed numerous personalities of al-Qaida in Pakistan until a local official was killed accidentally. In September, the Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi said that the strikes had been suspended.

To the United States paid to money in training Yemeni fight against terrorism forces with 150 million dollars in annual military aid and up to 100 trainers at any time.

The popular protests calling for the eviction of long-standing President Ali Abdullah Saleh service across the country, however, disrupted the Government's efforts against al-Qaida.

On Thursday, thousands of protesters struck again in the streets to demand that Saleh resign, walking in South Yemen and Central. In at least two protests, Saleh supporters attacked marchers.

In the central city of Bayda, activists said supporters burned Saleh a few tents in a protest camp on the place of the city demonstrators prayed.

Hundreds more demonstrators arrived at the camp to denounce the burning as other donations collected to replace tents, said an activist who spoke the condition of anonymity because he was afraid of retaliation.

"We will be rebuilding," demonstrators shouted.

In the town of Damt, in the South of the province of al-Saleh, supporters of Saleh organized a March of his support, waving automatic rifles and sticks. The crowd stormed a record store, beating its owner to play songs anti-Saleh, said Mohammed al-Marfadi, a local activist.

They also attacked an ice cream vendor who had wrapped the head in a national flag with the word "go" scribbled on it.

Bin Laden: How They Got him - and this is happening to al-Qaeda now (Time.com)

Reports started coming in more than a month it y a: Osama bin Laden was in motion, and the United States have the eyes on him. Underlined by the turmoil sweeping its share of the world - tumult, he had no roll in Sparks - Ben Laden strives to enhance the credibility of al-Qaeda as young Tweeted and Facebooked on a future that involves him, or al-Qaida.

Surprisingly, he did not die a death Picot for fixation of an invisible Predator drone, as most would have waited. Instead, a team of us special operations forces transported in a deep composed the high wall in Pakistan and killed him and four others in an exchange of fire, including a son of bin Laden and a woman who would have been used as a human shield. (Pakistan is losing Patience in the war against terrorism?)

Sending a team of special forces to Pakistan made two things clear: the United States believes that his intelligence was solid, and he wanted the evidence he was dead; they wanted his corpse. One of the choppers involved in the dysfunction of the raid and was destroyed; No U.S. personnel was injured in the operation, which lasted about 40 minutes.

The comings and goings and out of Ayman al-Zawahiri, Deputy of Osama bin Laden, remain unknown. If the death of Osama bin Laden étincelles spasm of violence - or mark the end of al-Qaeda as one force powerful terror - also remains uncertain. Al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian-born doctor, recently encouraged Muslims to fight against the United States and their allies in Libya. "I wish to draw the attention of our Muslim brothers in Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and the rest of the Muslim countries, that if the Americans and NATO forces enter Libya then their neighbours in Egypt and in the rest of Muslim countries and Algeria and Tunisia should rise up and fight the two mercenaries of Gaddafi and the rest" NATO, "Zawahiri said, according to the SITE Intelligence Group."

There was a quiet Vertigo among the U.S. military later Sunday as Word began to spread that bin Laden had been killed. It is a consolation just to the survivors of the 3,000 killed that day from the end of the summer, but it represents reconfirms sweet nonetheless.

U.S. intelligence had learned that bin Laden could be hiding in a high wall composed in Abbottabad, some 50 miles northeast of Islamabad, last August. Basically, a suburb of the capital city, the wealthy city is home to many officers of the Pakistan Army retired. Which may explain the surround extraordinary secret operation: some senior officials in the Government of the United States knew such an operation was new and suspicious of it was not shared with the allies, including Pakistan. How the bin Ladens could reside within a posh for months, even years, surrounded by former officers of the army Pakistan remains unknown. (Pakistan - U.S. Border spat: crippling the Afghanistan campaign?)

Official says U.S. has an index key to uncover the bin Ladens learn the name of trustworthy courier, who led U.S. intelligence of the compound Sunday. After having emphasized the compound had a few electronic links to the outside world - and incinerated his trash, rather than to be picked up - Obama gives the green light week last for a raid of the helicopter in the enclosure. Bin Laden "did resist the assault force," the official of the U.S. said, but was shot in the head and killed "as" our operators came into the compound.

It would be churlish share, but specific, noting that he had escaped a manhunt throughout the world for almost a decade after subtracting a tightening, but net fraying, U.S. - Afghan in Tora Bora on the Afghanistan border and Pakistan in December 2001. Hundreds crowded around the White House to celebrate the disappearance of Osama bin Laden, it is also relevant to note that impact of Osama bin Laden reached a peak of 9/11 and has declined since then. Nevertheless, the symbolic impact of his death cannot be underestimated, either in the war against terrorism or the re-election of the Obama prospects.

The Pakistani shooting codified only that a younger generation, where women play a major role, has clearly: MAND was a force in a region led by autocrats of the 20th century; It was much less resonance among the cohort of young now support.

Pentagon officials have said that al-Qaeda has played only a minor role in Afghanistan in recent years. The Americans and their allies are mainly fight against the Taliban, a native force of Pashtun whose homeland straddles the Af - Pak border.

The death of Osama bin Laden only picks a tumour. Cancer he represented remains in large part of the world where local populations were forced to have not dom while their leaders have lived well. If his disappearance marks the end of a particularly virulent strain or trigger a violent recidivism, is unknown.
