Senior Yemen security officials told Yemen Post that the United States sent counter terror trainers to Yemen this week in an effort to strengthen the Yemeni government’s ability to fight al-Qaeda.
He said that this was not the first time US trainers are involved in Yemen and more will be sent throughout the year.
The official said that US is worried that Yemen is not capable of fighting al-Qaeda backed groups and wants to assure that the country’s capabilities are higher in standard then were it stands today.
