On May 22, Yemen marked its National Day in the aftermath of a suicide bombing in al-Sabin Square in Sanaa, which claimed the lives of more than 90 soldiers and injured 222 people. Earlier this month, Fahed al-Quso, an alleged planner of the USS Cole attack in 2000 and a top al-Qaida leader, was killed in an air strike by a US drone. In light of such events and the ongoing national and international focus on Yemen, the National Council is pleased to provide the following materials for background, context, and perspective.
