Yemen is at the verge to turn into a failed state. Corruption, Poverty, shortage of water supply, Insurgency in the north and south are major issues. Osama ancestors belong from Yemen and in such a volatile society it is very easy for Al Qaeda to build a potential base.CIA engaged many Yemeni for Afghan Jihad, so it has already strong background of Jihads sentiment. Saudi Arabian policy of weak Yemeni central Government creates allot problem for Yemen. In all such circumstances Al Qaeda moves to Yemen as to use launching paid. Sothern insurgents are socialist and have communist ideology but Al Qaeda succeeded to make a bond with northern Shitt insurgent. Three recent attacks in the US were traced to Yemen: the recruitment centre attack in Little Rock, the Fort Hood case and now the attempt on the Northwest airliner. The attack on Saudi prince and anti terrorism minister is also launched from Yemen.
