Summary:
Militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula seized an airport in southern Yemen. Soldiers that were guarding the site fled. Al-Qaeda is using the state of chaos the country is in. They over ran Mukalla earlier this month and freed inmates that were in the prison. Al-Qaeda fighters also took control of a sea port and an oil terminal in southern Yemen.
Analysis:
From reading the news and following the middle east it is hard to understand what is actually happening over there. One week the news reports a story of how the militant groups are being beaten back and losing ground. The next week they spring up in another part of the middle east almost like a game of whack a mole. This is no conventional war and its hard say what will happen next.
