ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT — Adm. Mike Mullen is applauding a military strike in Yemen against suspected members of al-Qaeda. The top U.S. military officer said Sunday he has been concerned that Yemen could become “another safe haven” for terrorism.
Mullen said the United States will continue to help Yemen, but he refused to discuss whether the U.S. played an active role in the recent operation.
The New York Times reported the U.S. provided firepower and other aid to Yemen for the strike this past week against suspected al-Qaeda hideouts and training sites.
