Obama warns against political disruption in Yemen

None

US President Barack Obama served notice Wednesday that he would punish those trying to disrupt the political transition in Yemen, a strategically important Middle Eastern nation, by freezing their US-based assets.

 

An executive order gives the Treasury Department to power to act against those said by the White House to "threaten the peace, security and stability" of Yemen. (AP)
