U.S. Mulls Yemeni Security Needs

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has conducted an examination of
Yemen's defense and security requirements as part of a plan to increase aid
to the Gulf Arab state.
Officials said the U.S. review by the Defense Department began in wake
of the election of President Abbed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who replaced Ali
Abdullah Saleh, in February 2012. They said Hadi's election has paved the
way for the prospect of increased stability and security cooperation with
Washington.
