Yemen

Yemeni security forces stopped an attack against government and business targets in the port city of Aden just hours before the attack was to be launched. Police said they were Iraqi war veterans, most of whom completed terrorist training for suicide attacks, who had fought beside local al Qaeda fighters and then sent to Yemen and other countries in the region to carry out attacks.
