Yemenis say they have bigger problems than Al Qaeda

After death of Anwar al-Alwaki, civilians of Yemen were worried, but their concern was not related to his death . Most of them think that the death didn't release to any better position, and they don't get a sense of why United States consider it as a target, the death of Anwar al-Alwaki will only increase their woes. Their main concern is that government has stopped everything water, electricity and etc. Also civil war might break out, because armed forces are divided into two groups those who is loyal to president Ali Abdullah Saleh and those who follow a rebel military commander. Yemenis really don't care about death of Anwar al-Alwaki, but there is a worry because if you strike Al-Qaeda they normally strike back. Along with that there is a concern about Saleh family, who provided information to United States about Anwar al-Alwaki in order to gain political power.
