Why would any sane American go to Yemen?
Maybe to sell weapons?
The interesting part of this alert is “western hotels.”
As for people traveling in the world, there are many reasons as to why they travel that aren’t jihad/terrorism-related; so I do post these alerts.
You’re right. Not all international travel is terrorist related. Thanks for the alert.
You’re right and your welcome RR.
