Yemen denied Monday reports that American and British troops would be deployed in four of its provinces where Al Qaeda is believed to hiding. Yemen absolutely refuses any foreign forces on its soils, and its armed forces would be the best to fight and finish and uproot terrorists and terrorism.

An official statement said that it’s untrue and baseless that American and British would be deployed in the provinces of Mareb, Hudhrmout, Abyan and Shabwa.“These reports come under the unfair and unjust media campaign that tries to distort the image of Yemen,” said the statement.
