Tightening the Security Screws
Yemen's president has been forced to shake up his intelligence and security services in response to a spectacular jail break by 23 extremists linked to Al Qaeda.
The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) combines the role of a US federal police force and an internal intelligence service. It comes under the authority of the Department of Justice and oversees the police authorities at the federal level. A member of the US intelligence community, the FBI often competes with the CIA on terrorism and counterintelligence cases.
