Since late 2009,the threat imposed on the international community,especially on the US,by the al Qaeda in Yemen has aroused strong concern across the world.The major concern of the international anti-terrorism camp is the Houthi rebellion in North Yemen and the possibility of al Qaeda's comeback in Yemen.Considering its backward economy,unstable and multipolar society and traditional culture of violence,it's really difficult for Yemen to get rid of terrorism within a short period of time.Now that terrorism in Yemen has become a severe threat to the US it's likely that the US may create a third battlefield of anti-terrorism in Yemen as it started the Iraq and Afghan wars.
