Yemen: 2011 Stability Survey
In April 2011, FPRI posted the most extensive survey done to date of Yemen’s population. Conducted by Glevum Associates, a firm run by FPRI Senior Fellow Andrew Garfield, the survey indicated a disquieting level of support for Al Qaeda among Yemen’s populous as well as a profound resistance to US intervention in the country. In response to the enormous interest in the survey, and rising tensions in the country, FPRI brought together a group of experts to discuss the survey as well as recent developments, including the reported shift in US policy toward a public role in easing Yemen’s President out of office despite his cooperation in fighting Al Qaeda.

Al Qaeda and Jihadi Movements After Bin Laden - FPRI
The death of Osama bin Laden and the decline of Al Qaeda central will transform the war on terror but not end it. The new threats will come from Salafi jihadi syndicates like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which appears to be adopting more global ambitions, and from global jihadist subsidiaries like al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). As a result, the threat will shift from the Afghanistan-Pakistan theater to other places like the Arabian Peninsula.
