There is no one war and the struggle does not respect borders. The AP is reporting that:
Suspected al-Qaida militants on Thursday overran a security base south of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, killing three policemen before fleeing to nearby mountains, security officials said.
While most of the world has been paying attention to other fights in other nations:
Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen, formally known as the Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and considered by Washington to be the terror network’s most active offshoot, has been trying to gain a foothold in the al-Adeen area, a rugged and mountainous region south of the Yemeni capital.
War is not new to Yemen which:
… has for years endured attacks by the Sunni militant group on its army, security forces and state facilities.
And:
Recently, the country has also been grappling with a revolt by Shiite rebels known as the Houthis who have in the past weeks overrun Sanaa and two northern provinces.
This week,
… the Shiite rebels made another stunning sweep, taking control of the key Red Sea port city of Hodeida and the province of Damar south of the capital.
No news on whether the rebels were jayvee or varsity; affiliates or core.
