A ‘Global Threat’ From al-Qaeda in Yemen?

From Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s remarks today with the prime minister of Qatar:

Among the matters that we consulted on, the situation in Yemen is a top concern. How can we work together and with others to stabilize Yemen, assist in securing its borders and providing for its people in combating al-Qaida. The instability in Yemen is a threat to regional stability and even global stability, and we’re working with Qatar and others to think of the best way forward to try to deal with the security concerns.

Tremble, Sweden! Cower, Borneo! Take heed, Tonga!
