Joint American Yemeni Troops Operate in HOA!

by Khalid

Dramatic expansion of the war against terror or descriptively called counterterrorism has taken another phase spreading from Afghanistan to the Arabian Peninsula and the tip of the Horn of Africa.

The American new President Barack Obama approved this phase of war in addition to secret joint operations between the American troops and the Yemeni troops.

Operations specifically "manned by the US military's clandestine Joint Special Operations Command to work with Yemeni troops to track and kill suspected leaders of the regional al-Qaeda affiliate," a UN Wire said quoting the Washington Post.

The troops killed six of the top 15 leaders of al-Qaida outside Iraq and Afghanistan during these operations in the Arabian Peninsula and entered Somalia.
