He went back to Yemen with his parents when y oung and someone said that he came to college here on a student visa?

If so, since Yemen doesn’t have duel citizenship, would that no mean that he gave up his U.S. citizenship at some point?

But hey, don’t expect today’s reporters to do any research...One outfit writes the story and the rest just regurgitate it.

No it doesn’t. He or his parents would have had to have gone into the US Embassy in Yemen and gone through the steps of renouncing American citizenship. What it means when a country doesn’t recognize dual citizenship is simply it doesn’t recognize the other countries citizenship. It does nothing to how the other country treats it. After he got the Yemini passport he came back to the US and got a US passport as an American citizen based upon birth. If he or his parents had renounced his citizenship in an embassy he’d never (or at least with out a screw up) gotten and American passport.
