Even before the bomb scares that set off security alarms on Friday, U.S. security officials have been increasingly concerned about terrorism strikes originating in Yemen. With this incident, suspicions will focus in particular on a U.S.-born radical Islamic cleric in Yemen, who has emerged as a prominent and eloquent advocate for violence against American civilians.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but right before turning the pResident off during his “speech” about the terror threat, I heard him say something about sending money or support to Yemen, to help them rise out of the impoverishment (or something) that tends to breed terrorists....

Did anyone else catch what he said?

***Despite Yemen’s alliance with Washington, which provides substantial military aid, intelligence sharing between the U.S. and Yemen is patchy and frequently as source of tension.***

OCTOBER 2009 : (US TURNS DOWN YEMENI REQUEST TO HEL TARGET AULAQI / AWLAKI NETORK -—See FALLS CHURCH CELL, DAR AL HIRJA MOSQUE, FT HOOD SHOOTING, UNDYBOMBER, JIHAD JANE, MAYDAYBOMBER/TIMESSQUAREPLOT) Last October [2009], the Yemeni government came to the CIA with a request: Could the agency collect intelligence that might help target the network of a U.S.-born al-Qaida recruiter named Anwar al-Awlaki? What happened next is haunting, in light of subsequent events.
The CIA concluded that it could not assist the Yemenis in locating al-Awlaki for a possible capture operation. The primary reason was that the agency lacked specific evidence that he threatened the lives of Americans — which is the threshold for any capture-or-kill operation against a U.S. citizen. The Yemenis also wanted U.S. Special Forces’ help in pursuing al-Awlaki; that, too, was refused.... -——— “Poor Decisions Haunting In Al-Awlaki Case,” Investors.com ^ | March 26, 2010 | DAVID IGNATIUS Posted on Friday, March 26, 2010 7:48:33 PM by Kaslin
