Has World War III already started in the Middle East?

U.S. troops on the ground in Yemen as war expands: has World War III already started in the Middle East? by The Extinction Protocol May 18, 2012 – SANAA, Yemen — Government troops killed 11 al-Qaida fighters in southern Yemen on Friday, as the army battled its way into the outskirts of a key town under the militants' control, military officials said.  Al-Qaida-linked fighters have taken over a swath of territory and several towns in the south over the past year, pushing out government forces and establishing their own rule. In recent weeks, the army has launched a concerted effort to uproot the militants from their strongholds — and is closely coordinating with a small contingent of U.S. troops who are helping guide the operations from inside Yemen.  On Friday, Yemeni troops moved in on Jaar in Abyan province, killing eight al-Qaida fighters in clashes about 10 kilometers (six miles) north of the town. Recapturing Jaar would better position the military to take back Zinjibar, the provincial capital that has been under al-Qaida control for more than a year. Also in Abyan, a Yemeni warplane struck an al-Qaida checkpoint some 70 kilometers (45 miles) east of Zinjibar in an area known as Shoqra, killing three militants and wounding six, officials said. The fighting in the south, particularly around Jaar, has displaced tens of thousands of civilians.  Town residents said that hundreds of families from the surrounding area flooded into the city on Friday to escape the clashes. One civilian who fled to Jaar, Al-Muqbala Yasin, said by telephone that the military had bombed his hometown just outside of Jaar. He said that he saw al-Qaida militants burying their dead in what he called “mass graves” there. Yemen's new president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has vowed to tackle the threat from al-Qaida in the country.  -AJC contribution Jenny M.

U.S.seeks removal of Yemeni president

It has DEVELOPED that the U.S. now seeks removal of Yemini president: report

WASHINGTON, Apr. 3, 2011 (Reuters) — 

The United States has concluded Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh will not likely enact reforms demanded by opposition protesters and must be eased out of office, The New York Times reported Sunday, citing U.S. and Yemeni officials.

The United States has talked openly of its concern about who might succeed Saleh, whom it views as an ally who has helped to contain al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemen-based wing of the militant group.
Saleh, in power for 32 years, has said he was prepared to leave eventually but that an abrupt exit would cause chaos.
About 82 people have been killed in anti-government rallies in the Arabian Peninsula state.
President Barack Obama's administration had supported Saleh but began to shift position on the Yemeni leader in the past week, the New York Times said.
American officials have told allies and some reporters that they now view Saleh's hold on office as untenable and they believe he should leave, the newspaper reported.

A Yemeni official was cited as saying negotiations with Saleh on the terms of his possible departure began a little over a week ago, after gunmen linked to the government killed more than 50 protesters at an rally on March 18.

"The Americans have been pushing for transfer of power since the beginning" of the negotiations which were still in 

progress, the official told the newspaper.

Under an opposition plan, the army and security forces would be restructured by a vice president acting as temporary president, the opposition coalition said Saturday.

Talks have been off and on over the past two weeks, sometimes in the presence of the U.S. ambassador.

Sources say Saleh wants to ensure he and his family do not face prosecution over corruption claims that the opposition has talked about.
