The former CIA chief Michael Morrell sums it all up in just one line- ” We dropped the ball on the Al-Qaeda.” An outfit that was bruised and beaten after the death of Osama Bin Laden is back in business and it is just a matter of time before they exercise complete control over the south of Yemen.Their sleeper cells in the Southern part of Yemen have woken up and surprisingly we get to hear Ayman Al-Zawahiri talking after coming out of a self imposed exile. To add to all that is happening in Yemen was a video from Asim Umar the Al-Qaeda in the Sub Continent chief who threatens to establish themselves from France to Bangladesh.
The Indian Intelligence Bureau officials are verifying a video message put up by the Al-Qaeda in the sub-continent in which references to Prime Minister Narendra Modi have been made.
Signs of desperation were writ large in the video that was put out by the Al qaeda in the sub-continent.
uld not be wrong to say that the United States and Saudi Arabia are the air force of the al Qaeda in Yemen. The sagging morales of the al Qaeda have been lifted in this war at Yemen and the Saudis can clearly be blamed for selective strikes.
