In the wake of news about the Christmas bomber’s vast al Qaeda network in Yemen, Yemeni security forces attacked an al Qaeda hideout, wounding several and arresting one, as a high-ranking official vowed to wipe out the terrorist group in that country. "The [Interior] Ministry will continue tracking down al Qaeda terrorists and continue its strikes against the group until it is totally eliminated," Deputy Interior Minister Brig. Gen. Saleh al-Zawari told military officials in the province of Mareb, one of three areas said to be home to al Qaeda operatives. The raid on the safe house came thanks to a tip; the house's owner was arrested, and security forces are pursuing those who fled.
