| Bin Laden's bodyguard warns of escalation in Yemen |
| 2010-08-27 |
| [Jerusalem Post] A former bodyguard of Osama bin Laden warned of an escalation in fighting between al-Qaida and Yemeni authorities and predicted the government would need outside intervention to stay in power. Nasser Ahmed al-Bahri told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named late Wednesday that recent attacks by al-Qaida in southern Yemen was an indication of its increasing strength. U.S. officials have said that the CIA now sees al-Qaida's branch in Yemen as a greater threat to the United States than its parent organization hiding out in Pakistain. "I expect that the confrontations will escalate and will reach an open war between the government and al-Qaida fighters," he said, adding that U.S. forces may have to intervene to keep the terror network from triumphing. |
