In a previous blog, I wrote that I might have been mistaken about a U.S. attack in Yemen. There was a U.S. military attack in Yemen—just not the one I reported. Chris Ciancio has sent me the following bad news:

OBAMA ORDERED U.S. MILITARY STRIKE ON YEMEN TERRORISTS

On orders from President Barack Obama, the U.S. military launched cruise missiles early Thursday against two suspected al-Qaeda sites in Yemen, administration officials told ABC News in a report broadcast on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.

One of the targeted sites was a suspected al Qaeda training camp north of the capitol, Sanaa, and the second target was a location where officials said “an imminent attack against a U.S. asset was being planned.” The Yemen attacks by the U.S. military represent a major escalation of the Obama administration’s campaign against al Qaeda.
