DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. January 29, 2017, 6:02 PM (IDT)
One American commando was killed and three others were injured in a fierce firefight early Sunday with Al Qaeda terrorists in central Yemen, the US military said. In the first counterterrorism operation approved by President Trump, Navy SEAL commandos raided Al Qaeda’s Yemen headquarters in Bayda Province.
The target was important enough for a ground operation rather than an air strike.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
