Al-Qaeda in Yemen: US claims on attack plots ‘nonsense’

DUBAI - Al-Qaeda in Yemen has denied US allegations it is plotting massive attacks that prompted the closure of Western missions in the country this month, in a statement posted online.

The extremist network also denied reports confirmed by Yemen's President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi that US intelligence services had intercepted a conversation between Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri and Nasser al-Wuhayshi, head of the Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

My Comment: This report is a few days old, but I am still intrigued that Al Qaedea would actually go through all the trouble of making it public that they are not responsible for these attack plots. In the past they would have been proud and be boasting about it to everyone .... even if they were not responsible for it. This makes you wonder if maybe .... just maybe .... these U.S. worldwide terror alert was exaggerated or based totally on wrong information.
