WESTERN intelligence chiefs fear young radicalised muslims will head to Yemen and Somalia to newly-established al-Qaeda terror camps.
A leaked US military intelligence reports reveals the two states are being targeted by al-Qaeda leaders looking for alternatives to Afghanistan.
Fleeing Pakistani terrorists who have been fighting in Afghanistan are already flocking to poverty-stricken Yemen to set up training camps, already according to the report.
The American CIA and British MI6 spy agencies fear Osama bin-Laden's henchmen hope to set up a network of terror-academies there.
This is a direct consequence of the succeses of NATO soldiers – including 9,000 Brits in Helmand who have made it too difficult for Islamic fighters to move around in any great number in Afghanistan.
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles – or Drones – used by the CIA and US military on the Pakistan border have made it even more hazardous.
US spies in Yemen- the poorest of the Arab countries – believe Al Qaeda's inner-circle hopes to relocate its main bases there.
