U.S. secret drone strikes in Yemen
While chaos is reigning in Yemen's government, drones and fighter jets operated by the US government have stepped up air strikes on militants.
The U.S. has dozens of military and intelligence operatives in Yemen right now. Recently the U.S. has stepped up air strikes in and around Yemen. Now that Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh has fled the country, New York Times national security correspondent Mark Mazzetti told The World that the U.S. is taking advantage of the chaos to do what it wants, but it's also concerned that Yemen's government isn't doing enough to deal with militants in the country.
