Hawthi Shiite protesters perform Friday prayers during a funeral procession of fellow protesters who were killed in recent clashes with Yemeni police in Sanaa, Yemen, Friday, Sept. 12, 2014. Yemeni officials said Thursday that security forces have gone on high alert, fearing that al-Qaida members are streaming into the capital, where a Shiite rebel group's demonstrations have turned deadly. The reports of al-Qaida infiltration came as the government sought international mediation in reaching a peaceful resolution to its conflict with the Shiite rebel group known as the Hawthis, which clashed with police in the capital Sanaa earlier this week.

While the Islamic State group is getting the most attention these days, another band of extremists in Syria, a mix of hardened Jihadists from Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Europe, poses a more direct and imminent threat to the U.S. homeland, working with Yemeni bomb-makers to target U.S. aviation, American officials say.
