Why al-Qaida took root in Yemen

FORT HUACHUCA — Yemen is an ancient country populated by a proud people.

But the nation of more than 23 million is also a troubled country, a place where the heresy of al-Qaida has corrupted the true values of Islam, Maj. Gen. John Custer said.

Yemen has been in the news recently as the training site of a young Nigerian man who allegedly tried to blow up an American airliner as it approached Detroit on Christmas Day.

Al-Qaida presence in Yemen is no surprise to Custer, who said the nation has a number of factions causing turmoil.
