Clinton says Yemen instability threatens global security

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday called the situation in Yemen a possible threat to regional and global security.

“We see global implications from the war in Yemen and the ongoing efforts by al Qaeda in Yemen to use it as a base for terrorist attacks far beyond the region,” Clinton said after a meeting with the prime minister of Qatar.

Clinton’s comments came as the U.S. Embassy in Yemen remained closed a second day due to what Clinton called “ongoing threats by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.” CNN
