Yemeni authorities called the U.S Administration for coordination before launching any attacks against its territories, as the White House announced that the military operation conducted by the American forces in Yemen last month was not targeting Qaeda leader Qassemi Al Reemi.

According to a Yemeni official, the authorities expressed their reservations on the military attack that targeted Beida governorate on January 29, as the American forces raided a camp related to Qaeda there.

Spokesperson of the White House shoun Spicer said that the operation was not targeting Qaeda leader, while it came to collect intelligence informations. He described the operation as successful.

Reemi, on his hand, insisted that the military operation was targeting him, commenting on its failure saying, "The new fool of the White House received a slap on his face."
