Yememi Commandos Raid al Qaeda

Following up on my last blog about US-Yemeni commandos conducting raids on al Qaeda, Yemeni forces and US drones are continuing attacks on hideouts and cells on the outskirts of the capital, Sanaa, a Yemeni government official told CNN. The raids are part of recent operations to crack down on al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, considered the most dangerous wing of the global terror group, and represents the most intense campaign against it since 2012. One of the sites targeted is in the same area where scores of al Qaeda followers had gathered recently to hear from Nasir al-Wuhayshi, the head of the terrorist network's Yemeni branch and the global organization's "crown prince." DNA tests are being held to determine if the well-known bomb-maker Ibrahim al-Asiri, is among the dead.
