A classic tale from the Yemen, a country that consistently confuses outsiders and now a convicted bomber, from the first, failed attack on US targets in 1992, is a senior security officer who says:
I’m now a colonel in the Interior Ministry and was appointed as an assistant to the director of security for Mukalla.
Ends with:
Over the past few years, the U.S. has refocused its attention on Yemen in a attempt to combat al-Qaeda, increasing aid and ramping up drone strikes. But at the same time elements of the Yemeni government appear to be playing a double game, welcoming U.S. aid with one hand and helping militants with the other.
