wake, who do you think is there in Yemen? As far as anyone knows there are two people known to us; one being a preacher that nobody knew about until recently. Another is some shadowy figure, released from Guantanamo, but went through "reform" program in Saudi Arabia. This smells to high heaven. This guy that seems to be the head of this, up until now not known organization, looks like a Saudi agent to me. Saudi "reform" program is to recruit former extremists, and use them for their own intelligence purposes. This guy reportedly travelled back and forth from Yemen to Saudi Arabia, and without having some kind of special status this story is a non-starter. And the link to the Nigerian seems overblown --- this youth looks to me like someone who still reads Captain Underpants. And a Detroit lawyer that is being intervewed everywhere, except mainstream media, was on that plane. He claims that he saw this kid in Amsterdam at the ticket counter. He and his wife were playing cards, waiting for the plane. He overheard a man in a suit who accompanied the youth, that he is a Sudanese refugee and will travel without a passport. The ticket counter people sent them off to manager. In Amsterdam, they better clarify this --- as this does not look good. This is starting to look more like setting up a fool to create a bit of excitement and a cause for war in Yemen. By the way, the bombing in Yemen has already been going on. But it was against the rebellious tribes in the North, and the secessionist movement in the South. It this war is to help the Yemeni President for Life keep his artificial country together, it would be well worth finding out right now. I, for one, believe that so called South Yemen was never Yemen in the first place. At the end of Cold War it was "donated" to Yemen, but this forced union will not last. One crazy guy claiming to be Al-Qaeda sounds fishy to me. The rest of the battling is strictly local affair.
