U.S. Forces ‘Closely Monitoring’ Iranian Warships Near Yemen


U.S. Forces ‘Closely Monitoring’ Iranian Warships Near Yemen


Ships suspected of containing weapons, military supplies for Yemen rebels
BY:

U.S. military forces are “closely monitoring” an Iranian ship bound for Yemen that is said to contain aid for the warring factions in that country, according to multiple Pentagon officials.
The aid ship is reported to be accompanied by at least two Iranian warships also in the region, where Iran and the United States are supporting opposite sides in the conflict between rebel forces and the Yemeni government.
Western nations suspect that Iran has been using so-called aid ships to help deliver weapons and other military supplies to the Yemeni rebels.
The Iranian aid ship is expected to arrive on Thursday. The Pentagon has been “closely monitoring” the ship’s movements, according to a senior Pentagon official.
Another Defense Department spokesman said that the United States continues “to monitor the activity in the Gulf of Aden with respect to the Iranian humanitarian aid ship,” which will be subject to inspections by the United Nations.
Iran claims that the ship currently bound for Yemen contains pharmaceuticals and medial equipment. It has agreed to let international inspectors examine the cargo before proceeding to Yemen.
U.S. officials have encouraged Iran to deliver aid in a transparent manner.

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a]these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Thousands march in Yemen to demand change of government - Yahoo! News

Map of the modern state of Yemen. Map of Yemen...Image via WikipediaSeems Tunisia, has sparked a fire in many more people. I seem to recall the United State having this same type of influence on the World. Well its seems its happening again. After all this time of history repeating itself. You would think that Governments and Leaders would learn from it. But of course with same old attitude. That was hundreds years ago or that's the old way of thinking. People will only tolerate so much.
Take a mans freedom away all that's left is war.

Reuters – Protesters march during an anti-government demonstration in Radfan, a district in the southern Yemeni …
SANAA (Reuters) – Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets of Sanaa Thursday to demand a change of government, inspired by the unrest that has ousted Tunisia's leader and spread to Egypt this week.
Reuters witnesses estimated that around 16,000 Yemenis demonstrated in four parts of Sanaa in the largest rally since a wave of protests rocked Yemen last week, and protesters vowed to escalate the unrest unless their demands were met.
"The people want a change in president," protesters shouted, holding signs that also demanded improvements to living conditions in Yemen, the Arab world's poorest country.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh, a key ally of the United States in a war against a resurgent al Qaeda wing based in Yemen, has ruled this Arabian Peninsula state for over 30 years.
"If the (ruling) party doesn't respond to our demands, we will escalate this until the president falls, just like what happened in Tunisia," said protester Ayub Hassan.
A few dozen policemen with batons silently watched the protests, which ended calmly as demonstrators left to chew qat, a mild stimulant leaf widely consumed in Yemen in the afternoon.
Yemen's ruling party ran a competing pro-government protest that gathered only a few hundred supporters, witnesses said.
Yemen, in the shadow of the world's top oil exporter Saudi Arabia, is struggling with soaring unemployment and dwindling oil and water reserves. Almost half its 23 million people live on $2 a day or less, and a third suffer from chronic hunger.
Mohammed al-Sharfy, a student protester at the Sanaa University rally of around 10,000 protesters, said economic disparities needed to be addressed.
"I am here to say no to corruption. We need to end this trend of graduating thousands of university students each year with no jobs, while officials and their kids take everything."

Cargo bomb found in UK could have exploded over U.S. - Yahoo! News

East Midlands Airport and the Control Tower. F...Image via Wikipediahttp://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101110/wl_nm/us_usa_yemen
With this happening almost daily you would think that people would wake up to the reality of terroism.
LONDON (Reuters) – A bomb found on board a cargo plane at a British airport last month could have exploded over the eastern seaboard of the United States if it had not been defused, British police said on Wednesday.
Al Qaeda's Yemen-based wing has claimed responsibility for sending two U.S.-bound parcel bombs that were intercepted in Dubai and Britain in October.
The bombs, addressed to synagogues in Chicago, were found in computer printer cartridges.
The device found in Britain was taken off a cargo plane at East Midlands Airport north of London on October 29.
"Forensic examination has indicated that if the device had activated it would have been at 10:30 hrs BST (0930 GMT) on Friday, 29 October 2010," London police said in a statement.
"If the device had not been removed from the aircraft the activation could have occurred over the eastern seaboard of the U.S.," they said.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said last month he could not rule out that the East Midlands bomb may have been intended to explode over Britain.

Al-Qaeda Creating an Army in Yemen

Imam Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen October 2008, ta...Image via Wikipedia
Be sure to check out the rest of this article at the link. The note to understand. is, they want Jihad even unto death. Yet so many still claim it's a peaceful religion.
What people need to understand. It's not a Religion. It's their Law. Do as the Koran says or die. That is their choice. Even Politics cannot fix this.
The heads of Al-Qaeda in Yemen claimed Thursday to be creating an army in the country's south. In an audio recording posted online, terrorist commander Mohammed Sayeed al-Omda said Al-Qaeda will soon have a fighting force of 12,000 soldiers based in the cities of Aden and Abyan.
Omda issued a threat to continue attacking Yemeni troops. “This is a message to the Yemeni government forces and National security service: Our swords are ready and we are going to cleanse the land,” he declared.
Al-Qaeda poses a real and immediate threat to the Yemeni government, according to United States Marine Corp General James Mattis, who is charged with heading US forces in the region. At his nomination hearing Tuesday Mattis told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Yemen has been pushed “to the breaking point.”
Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh has dealt with crises “through negotiation and by co-opting his opponents,” Mattis said, adding “there are signs his ability to exert control is waning.”

Online Islam Magazine Teaches Bomb-Making Skills, Targets Anyone Involved

KoranImage via Wikipedia
With such a Peaceful Religion spreading abroad and World Wide. Islam is making sure they continue to teach exactly what they are to do according to the Koran.
We must remember is not just a Religion. Is is their LAW.
One that our Government today seems to be so scared of for some reason.
clipped from www.thejidf.org

The first edition of Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's (AQAP) Inspire magazine was released on Sunday, according to SITE Intelligence, a US service that monitors Islamist websites.

Inspire -- a 67-page publication provided by SITE from jihadist forums that are sometimes password-protected or otherwise difficult to access -- appears to have been designed with care.

Its cover features an image of a silhouetted man with a rifle under the headline "May Our Souls Be Sacrificed For You!," an article attributed to radical US-Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

The "Make a Bomb" article notes that a device made in "one or two days could be ready to kill at least ten people," while one made in a month "could kill tens of people."

"What to Expect in Jihad" offers advice for those who decide to take the fight abroad.

It also suggests that would-be mujahedeen (holy warriors) bring a friend with them, and that they learn as much as possible about local culture before travelling.

Terror Attacks Against U.S. At All-Time High

clipped from abcnews.go.com
number of attempted terror attacks against US higher than any other year


The pace and number of attempted terror attacks against the U.S. over the past nine months has surpassed the number of attempts during any previous one-year period, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security report issued on Friday, May 21.


The report notes chillingly that while US officials "lack insights" they believe that "operatives are in the country and could advance plotting with little or no warning."

The report notes that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the Pakistani Taliban have "expanded their focus" to include the United States

More worrisome even that these attacks -- both of which involve suspects who allegedly spent time at terror camps abroad -- is the possibility, states the DHS document, of "an attack strategy that does not rely on outside support or travel abroad," which "diminishes opportunities for discovery and disruption."

Yemen declares end to war with Houthis

clipped from www.alalam.ir
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh said in an interview to be aired Friday that six years of war with Houthi fighters that drove 250,000 people from their homes in the northern mountains are now over.
"We can say the war is over," Saleh told Al-Arabiya in the interview, referring to the war in the north that has raged on and off since 2004. An
Saleh said that the successful implementation of a February 12 ceasefire with the fighters was a "sign that the war has ended and that this is not just a passing truce."
He also added that there were positive signs of the fighters'' commitment to ending the war such as removing landmines, opening roads, removing roadblocks and releasing prisoners.
Yemen had said on Thursday it would free Shi'ite fighters prisoners within days under the truce deal, a day after the fighters released at least 170 government soldiers and tribesmen who fought alongside the state.
The president also vowed to stand down in 2013 as the constitution requires

Al Qaeda Looking to Recruit English Speakers, Women

Countries in which Islamist terrorist attacks ...Image via Wikipedia

clipped from www.foxnews.com

Al Qaeda in Yemen is actively recruiting English-speaking individuals, intelligence officials told Fox News on Monday, saying that investigators are looking for people who are more like Americans, having been born in the United States or Canada

"Anyone who can fit in and not attract suspicion" is desirable to the terror network right now, said one official. 

An investigative source also said that among those attracting attention by the intelligence community are women recruits. The next wave of terrorists may include Western women, possibly Canadian, with forged documents. The use of women would be seen an evolution in Al Qaeda's strategy from the failed Christmas Day attack by accused "underpants bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

However, that official said just because someone is studying Arabic in Yemen doesn't mean he or she has made the leap to terrorism.

Meanwhile, one women was questioned at length off the Amsterdam-Detroit flight that came in Saturday.
