reporter: we have heard the international community and u.s. reiterating there is no military decision for the political situation in yemen. they are trying come through a dialogue that has really stalled and gotten nowhere the past few months. but it is very difficult to see that happening, talking to people there on the ground, we are hearing from people there. the situation looks very tense. and lots of concerns that these talks right now are not going to do much and that the situation is headed towards a possible civil war there. lots of concerns. jomana karadsheh, thank you. general mark hurtling joins
terrorism in that country with the removal and the pushing out of sanaa as the government president haddy was pushed out by the rebels the past few months as you recall. the state department in its statement is saying following this evacuation, quote, it says we also continue to obviously monitor the terrorist threat emanating from yemen and have the capabilities postured in the area to address them. but, of course, a lot of concerns about intelligence gathering and the terrorism there not just with the threat from aqap there, but, of course, the concerns about the possible emergence of isis there and that group exploiting the political unrest and backhold to gain a fo foothold in that country. the u.s. security council is meeting later today. what do you expect from that meeting, if anything, other than a piece of paper or a statement?
us now. i want to start from the state department spokesman say they continue to actively monitor the terrorist threats there in ye n yemen. that sounds assuring but, in reality, what does this withdrawal mean for the u.s. ability to survey and respond from any threats coming from that area? it s a significant issue, victor, and it s a great question, because when you re talking about pulling out the special operating forces, which, by the way, this wasn t decided after the mosque bombing of a few days ago. this was decided about a week ago. you re talking about losing all contact with the country. there s very little cia operations there. the special operations forces are now out. the embassy is closed and all of those things contribute. what we are seeing, as the report mentioned, this is not only the potential for a large civil war, but there is going to be intra-jihadi fighting.
case around. and this happens in the united states, it happens often when prosecutors make mistakes, they don t like to turn the ship around. once the jaws of the legal system start to work, it s very hard for them to admit that they made a mistake. in this case, they had it was a small town. the authorities had the international media, tv trucks filling the historic central of this old town, and they couldn t admit, oops, wait a minute, this salacious story that we have told you about a sex game gong wrong organize tratchestrated b american woman had gone wrong. nina burleigh, thank you for your insight. you re welcome. u.s. forces pulling out of yemen. this tiny nation is spiraling into chaos. what might be the consequences
