Report: Two Iranian Quds Force officers captured in Yemen...

Is anyone surprised? Perhaps Obama gave Iran Yemen in a secret side agreement to the alleged nuclear framework deal.

Local militiamen in the Yemeni city of Aden said they captured two Iranian military officers advising Houthi rebels during fighting on Friday evening.
Tehran has denied providing military support for Houthi fighters, whose advances have drawn air strikes by a regional coalition led by Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic’s main rival for influence in the Gulf.
If confirmed, the presence of two Iranian officers, who the local militiamen said were from an elite unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, would further worsen relations between Tehran and Riyadh who are vying for dominance in the region.
Three sources in the southern port city’s anti-Houthi militias said the Iranians, identified as a colonel and a captain, were seized in two separate districts that have been rocked by heavy gun battles.
“The initial investigation revealed that they are from the Quds Force and are working as advisors to the Houthi militia,” one of the sources told Reuters.

Flashback to September 2014: Obama declares Yemen a success in the fight against terror...

Obama closed the embassy in Yemen today and cut and run. The only thing left to do is make the "Mission Accomplished" speech.

Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL.  And any time we take military action, there are risks involved –- especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions.  But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.  This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground.  This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.  And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year:  to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order.

Al-Qaeda in Yemen downgrades US on enemy list because of weak leadership...

We are now below the French. How embarrassing. Thanks President Obama.

Dubai (AFP) – The ideological leader of Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) said Friday that France had surpassed the United States as the top enemy of Islam.
With the “weakening” of the United States in recent years, France has replaced America in the “war on Islam,” Ibrahim al-Rubaish said in an audio message published by AQAP’s media arm on YouTube.
US intelligence agencies consider AQAP to be the most dangerous branch of the jihadist network.
One of the group’s ideologues, Nasser bin Ali al-Ansi, has claimed in a video that AQAP was behind the January 7 attack on French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead.
Cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published by the magazine have angered many Muslims.
Western governments say it remains unclear if AQAP directly orchestrated the attack on the weekly, although they do believe one or both of the attackers, brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, spent time with jihadists in Yemen.

Feel Good Story: 10 suspected al-Qaida operatives in Yemen killed in 'Jihadi Work Accident'

It  appears the bomb they were building exploded prematurely...

Via Reuters:

More than 10 suspected al-Qaida operatives were killed by an explosion in a house in south Yemen where they were making bombs, and at least six others died in two strikes from US drones, tribal and official sources said on Sunday.

A bomb ripped through a house in the province of al-Bayda on Saturday night, the state news agency Saba and a local official said.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is considered by Western governments to be one of the most active and dangerous wings of the global network founded by Osama bin Laden and has attempted a number of attacks against US targets.

The house destroyed in al Bayda had been used for making bombs, an official from the area told Reuters on Sunday.

“We heard a massive explosion that terrified people and when we went to the house it was destroyed and everyone there was dead,” the official said.

Napolitano Says 'Nothing to See Here' as Dozens of Suicide Bombers Train in Yemen

Americans shouldn't worry. Janet Napolitano said Sunday that she does not think the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound plane on Friday was part of a larger plot. In spite of Secretary Napolitano's naive optimism, British police fear that 25 British-born Muslims are plotting to bomb Western airliners.
