Al Qaida suicide bomber in Yemen trained in Somalia

Hey Andrew Liepman, deputy director for intelligence at the counterterrorism center, do you still think those missing US-Somali teens do not represent a threat to the US? Reuters

SANAA, March 17 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber behind a deadly attack that killed four South Korean tourists in Yemen was trained in lawless Somalia, just across the busy Gulf of Aden shipping route, a Yemeni security official said on Tuesday.[...]

he official identified the bomber as Abdel Rahman Mehdi al-Aajbari and said he had trained in Somalia, a failed Horn of Africa country that Western security services fear could be a base for al Qaeda-linked militants.

Aajbari had left his family home in the Yemeni province of Taiz around two months ago, he said.

In a letter to his mother delivered by one of his fellow fighters, Aajbari wrote that his family would never see him again and that he believed he was on the "true path", the official said.
