Yemen

Security forces reportedly captured Said al Shihri, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s second in command, after his car turned over at a checkpoint in Shabwa. Al Qaeda denied that Qasim al Raymi and five other leaders were killed in last week’s airstrike. Yemen stepped up security at energy facilities in Shabwa.
