War on terror: East of Aden

A would-be suicide bomber who delivered the latest in underwear bomb technology to anti-terrorism agencies, including the CIA, turns out to have been an agent of the Saudi Arabian intelligence service who infiltrated the Yemen affiliate of al-Qaeda in order to identify the group's leadership.

The agent's information permitted the CIA to conduct a successful drone strike against the group's external operations director, Fahd Mohammed Ahmed al-Quso, a suspect in the bombing of the USS Cole.

Roberto De Vido writes cartoons and comics about politics, sports (and life) from a small fishing and farming village an hour southwest of Tokyo.
