The World

Today’s news of the killing of radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki sheds new light on the relations between the U.S. government and the embattled Yemeni government. As details come to light it is likely the operation was a joint effort involving forces from both countries, most likely with the assistance of U.S. drones.  Joining us with more is  Wendy Chamberlin, president of the Middle East Institute and former ambassador to Pakistan. Also joining us is  Charles Dunbar, former U.S. ambassador to Yemen.
