Yemen's al-Qaida threatens to kill US hostage
A US terrorism watchdog says al-Qaida's affiliate in Yemen is threatening to kill an American hostage kidnapped in the Arabian Peninsula country over a year ago if its demands are not met.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors terror sites, said Thursday it obtained a video by Yemen's al-Qaida offshoot featuring the hostage identified as 33-year-old Luke Somers, an American British-born photojournalist.
Somers was kidnapped in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, in September 2013.
