Thousands have taken to the streets in protest against rebels who have tightened control over the capital city. The u. S. Backed president of yemen resigned friday. The volatile situation in yemen has led to reports that its having an effect on u. S. Counterterrorism operations there, a claim that president barack obama is pushing back on. He spoke about it this morning in a joint press conference with indias Prime Minister. I saw some news reports that suggested somehow that counterterrorism activity had been suspended.
