The British government has announced plans to join the United States in funding "anti-terrorist" forces in Yemen. The announcement on Saturday was made ahead of an international conference later this month to deal with what Western governments have called "rising extremism" in the country. The US government has said it would be more than double its military assistance to Yemen after Barack Obama, the US president, blamed the al-Qaeda group there for the attempted bombing of a US airliner bound for the city of Detroit on Christmas day. "We're learning more about the suspect. We know that he travelled to Yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgencies," the US president said on Saturday.
