Last night in Florida, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said U.S. specialists hacked into websites run by Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen. The hackers were able to change online ads that boasted about killing Americans into advertisements that underscored the deaths of Muslim civilians in Al Qaeda terror attacks. We’re joined by Jamie Doran, a producer for Frontline who worked on the new documentary “Al Qaeda in Yemen.”
“Al Qaeda in Yemen” is produced by our partner WGBH, and airs on PBS Tuesday, May 29.
