I guess that's why I stopped buying a newspaper in the morning.
"Yemeni militants kill 11 in jailbreak; Intelligence unit is site of attack" by Ahmed Al-Haj, Associated Press | June 20, 2010
SAN’A, Yemen — Four suspected Al Qaeda gunmen blasted their way into the intelligence headquarters of Yemen’s second-largest city yesterday and freed several detainees in the group’s most spectacular operation since a US-backed government crackdown began late last year.
Oh, REALLY?
So which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh?
The made-up "Al-CIA-Duh?"
So who did the CIA hire to do this one?
The attack on the heavily protected security complex killed 11 and further bolstered US concerns that Yemen’s weak central government might not be up to tackling an increasingly effective foe seemingly able to strike anywhere inside or outside the country.
And CUI BONO? Who wants troops in that strategic location?
US officials say insurgents, including Americans, are training in militant camps in Yemen’s vast lawless spaces and allying with powerful tribes opposed to the government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Those concerns deepened in December, when Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the failed attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner.
In the wake of the Christmas attack, with US aid, training and intelligence, Yemen’s military and air force have struck repeatedly at Al Qaeda sites and suspected hideouts, and arrested several suspects.
Then how come we rarely read about them, and how come they never go away?
In a statement, the Yemeni government said the attacks bore the hallmarks of Al Qaeda and resulted in the death of seven members of the security forces, three women, and a child in the southern port city of Aden, about 200 miles south of the capital.
Gee, that is REALLY INTERESTING seeing as "the FBI and the CIA, [have had] a "permanent" presence in Yemen since 2003."
That one of the most important security institutions in the country’s second largest city could be attacked reflects the state’s weakness, said analyst Mansour Hael, hinting that the attackers must have had inside help.
And there it is, in print for you all to see.
“The question to ask is how these attackers were able to infiltrate such a fortified security area. This raises a number of suspicions,’’ he said.
I read that and all I can think of is 9/11.
The headquarters of the powerful intelligence agency is in an upscale neighborhood of government offices overlooking the sea, flanked by the state television building and a branch of the Transport Ministry.
Now this is REALLY STARTING to STINK!!!
It was the same facility that 10 prisoners broke out of in 2003, including one involved in the plot to blow up the USS Cole in 2000. Seventeen US sailors were killed in the plot.
Yeah, about the Cole.

Seems like a PATTERN, doesn't it?
An eyewitness said gunmen in military uniforms approached the building after parking an old sedan and a microbus at the historic Crescent Hotel.
That does it for me.
The witness, who works in the building but was outside at the time of the attack, said the gunmen fired rocket-propelled grenades and threw hand grenades at the building’s entrance before charging inside in a hail of bullets.

Well, go get your patsies, 'er, 'terrorists."
"Yemen arrests jailbreak suspect" by Associated Press | June 21, 2010
SANA, Yemen — Yemen said yesterday it has arrested the suspected coordinator of the spectacular attack on the southern intelligence headquarters, which freed detainees and left 11 people dead.
Did he flash his CIA credentials?
The attack Saturday by four gunmen on the heavily protected security complex in the port city of Aden further bolstered US concerns that Yemen’s weak central government may not be up to tackling an increasingly effective foe.
As aid and efforts have increased?
An official statement said the suspect belongs to “terrorist groups’’ in Yemen and has a criminal record, including a bank robbery last year blamed on Al Qaeda. There was no word on whether any other suspects had been arrested or whether the authorities had recaptured the freed detainees.
The government has yet to comment on the eyewitness accounts of freed detainees.
Yemeni officials said the attack on the heavily protected security complex in Aden, about 200 miles south of the capital, bore the hallmarks of Al Qaeda.
Yes, I would say so.
Oh, good. Then this propaganda implant can quickly vanish.
