Securing America: Wanted Terrorist Killed in Yemen

The 4th-most wanted terrorist on the U.S. list is dead in Yemen.

FOX Chief Intelligence Correspondent Catherine Herridge reports from Washington DC in our ongoing series on national security:

A Yemeni government official says Mohammed al-Umda was the 4th-most wanted terrorist in Yemen, part of al-Qaeda’s “Old Guard” who trained in the Afghan camps before 9/11.  And despite the death of the American cleric who was an operational commander for al-Qaeda, FBI Director Robert Mueller recently told Congress the threat remains high.

(Mueller) “Yemen is a hub, currently, of individuals who want to undertake terrorist attacks.  And it’s up there with Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia.”

For its part, the CIA had no public comment on the strike.
