Oh, this is not encouraging news at all:
A prominent al Qaeda affiliate that has plotted attacks on the U.S. homeland is quietly expanding its presence in Yemen, according to reports, a development that could fuel the terrorist group’s rivalry with the Islamic State and pose severe security threats to the West.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the terrorist group’s Yemen-based affiliate, is reported on Wednesday to have seized Zinjibar and Jaar, two major cities in southern Yemen. The al Qaeda affiliate has also captured armored vehicles used by Gulf nations in Yemen’s war.
