U.S. Official: U.S. Counterterrorism Operations With Yemen Are Now Suspended

Washington Post: U.S. counterterrorism operations with Yemen suspended, officials say

Update: U.S. counter-terror ops 'paralyzed' in Yemen (Reuters)

WNU Editor: Just this afternoon White House spokesman Josh Earnest reiterated that the U.S.-Yemen counterterrorism partnership will continue even amid all of this political chaos. Now .... a few hours later .... U.S. officials are saying that "some counter-terrorism" operations will be suspended .... Some counter-terrorism efforts in Yemen frozen for now - U.S. officials (Reuters). What's my take .... these counter terrorism operations are over, and for groups like Al Qaeda .... they are now positioned to establish safe-havens that will not be continuously attacked by Yemeni/U.S. forces and CIA drone strikes. The above PBS video provides a good analysis on what is happening in Yemen, what may be the future for that country, and why this implosion is dangerous for the U.S..
