Northern Yemen Tribes
US air force earlier this month launched several cruise missile attacks on suspected Al-Qaeda targets but instead killed a few civilians. The Yemeni government receives $ 70 million a year in financial assistance and more from pipeline project from Washington to join the war on terrorism. http://www.hamsayeh.net/hamsayehnet_iran-international%20news716.htm
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is a militant Islamist organization, primarily active in Saudi Arabia. It was named for al-Qaeda and claims to be subordinate to that group and its leader Osama bin Laden. Like al-Qaeda, it opposes the Al Saud monarchy. ..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda_in_the_Arabian_Peninsula
Picture: Northern Yemen tribes have been at war with the central government since at least 1978 ... http://www.hamsayeh.net/hamsayehnet_iran-international%20news716.htm

Are you crazy? What are you, somekind of mormon or something?
THe guy gets on a plane having said afterwards that he got the bomb stuff from Yemen and you want to MAKE EXCUSES FOR HIM? I suppose your twisted logic support the blowing up on airline planes full of people because they are americans?

ie. its easier to say "allegedly" or "supposedly" than "actually" and "for a fact", especially as we know not to trust what the mass, corporate media agenda dictates to us. BECAUSE WE WEREN'T THERE.
And also, on the subject of Yemen. The country is steeped in relative-to-new-world-order history, especially the bomb and grenade attacks against british army targets that eventually drove the UK out of Yemen years ago - which then led to devastating civil war,( which continues today in varying forms and degrees).
Its Islamic history is also interesting.
The US will find probably their biggest ever fight, and loss, if they enter Yemen as they have Irag and Afghanistan. I support those that oppose US/UK armies in their homelands. Yemen is not a place to be messed with lightly,the tribal warriors there will not fear america, as they do not fear them anywhere else. and why should they? America are as incompetent, imperialist invader as any that have ever been. They will suffer the fate of all imperialist/neo-colonialist armies and states - downfall and decay. The "system" is decaying everywhere you care to look. US is just trying to get its hands on everything it can before it really takes off,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the Saudi war planes are mostly British made Tornado IDS jets which are supplied complete with EDO MBM bomb racks.
EDO MBM in Brighton are the 'design authority' for the HDERU bomb rack used on the Tornado.
another reason to protest in Brighton on Jan 18th.

But then you could apply this rule to any report or comment on the site which isn't first-hand (although of course Indymedia is not the "mass, corporate media").
And, dave, does saying "I support those that oppose US/UK armies in their homelands" mean you support the actions of the Iraqi resistance and the Taliban?
