Summary
Al-Qaeda is getting stronger in Yemen and Somalia, however, the Afghan border areas are still its bastion.US President Obama stated these views during an interview to People Magazine. I have no intention of sending US boots on the ground in these regions, Obama told the interviewer, referring to Yemen and Somalia. I have every intention of working with our international allies in lawless areas around the globe to make sure that we're keeping the American people safe, Obama added. Obama has said Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, based in Yemen, appears to train and equip the terrorists and the Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a US airliner bound for Detroit on Dec. 25, was an instance in this regard.
