Obama announces further cooperation with Yemen to fight terror

HONOLULU, Jan. 02
(Saba) - US President Barack Obama declared on Saturday further cooperation with
Yemen in
coming period in field of combating terrorism.
Speaking in his weekly radio and internet address Obama highlighted current level
of the cooperation between Yemen and United States in combating terror.
The US president said that we've forged new partnerships with Yemen, and put
unrelenting pressure on these extremists wherever they plot and train-from East
Africa to Southeast
Asia, from Europe to the Arab Gulf, and though often out of sight, our progress has
been unmistakable.
So, as President of the United States, I've made it a priority to strengthen our
partnership with the Yemeni government-training and equipping their security
forces, sharing
intelligence and working with them to strike al Qaeda terrorists.
Along with our partners, we've disrupted terrorist financing, cut off recruiting
chains, inflicted major losses on al Qaeda's leadership, thwarted plots here in the
United
States, and saved countless American lives, he said.
