Yemen

A Yemeni court charged US born al Qaeda cleric Anwar al Awlaki, and his cousin Othman al Awlaki, with “plotting and incitement to murder foreigners.” Security forces launched an operation in the provinces of Maarib and Shabwa to find al Qaeda operative Ibrahim al Asiri, who is suspected of manufacturing the parcel bombs.
