World powers to boost Yemen to better fight terror
Yemen risks providing a permanent new haven for al-Qaida without urgent help to rebuild its deteriorating economy, quell internal revolts and bolster work to tackle terrorism, foreign ministers warned at a global meeting Wednesday.
Talks in London involving about 20 nations offered backing for plans to bolster Yemen's fragile government as it wrestles with a deepening threat from global terrorism. In a joint declaration following a two-hour meeting, ministers warned that Yemen's problems could threaten the stability of Arabian Peninsula if they go unchecked. (AP)
