The arrest of alleged terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and the young Nigerian man’s links to Yemen, have brought a new focus on the fight against rising extremism in a country where al Qaeda has clearly become more comfortable.

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is an increasingly powerful, increasingly dangerous organization, and it’s operating beyond the control of Yemen’s weak, beleaguered central government.

Yemen is fighting two wars; a civil war in the north and one against al Qaeda. Increasingly, the U.S. is training Yemeni troops in counterterrorism and providing them with weapons.

“For many years now, al Qaeda has had a presence in Yemen,” says Peter Clarke, the former head of counterterrorism for London’s Metropolitan Police and a CBS News consultant. “The internal conflict and instability there give it an operating base and a training base, and we’ve seen just how dangerous this can be.”

For a time, the government, based in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a, effectively had a truce with the local branch of al Qaeda, welcoming many home after the end of a 1990’s war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Skilled fighters, they were useful in combating rebellion in the south.

By the end of the decade, however, that truce had come to an end as more militant leadership took over the group.

It was the Yemen-based branch of al Qaeda which claimed responsibility for training and equipping Abdulmuttalab, and the government has now confirmed he was twice issued visas to study in the country, and he spent a number of months there prior to the Christmas attempt.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano conceded Monday that airline security failed in allowing a Nigerian on a terror watch list and allegedly armed with explosives onto a Detroit-bound flight, a turnaround from her declaration a day day earlier that “the system worked.”

The secretary’s comment Sunday was widely criticized, given that suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was foiled because his explosive mixture did not properly detonate and he was stopped in his tracks by vigilant passengers.

The suspect, who carried the explosive in his underwear, passed through security at two airports — in Nigeria and Amsterdam, Netherlands. Plus he was not on any “no-fly” list, even though he was on a massive federal database of people with suspected ties to terrorists and his father apparently had warned U.S. embassy officials in Nigeria about his son.

“Here, clearly, something went awry. We want to fix that problem,” Napolitano told Fox News on Monday.

She said officials are doing a complete review to determine what needs to change to prevent such a passenger from clearing security in the future.

“No secretary of homeland security would sit here and say that a system worked prior to this incident which allowed this individual to get on this plane,” Napolitano said.

Her comments marked a change in tone from the day before, when she lauded security officials’ handling of the affair.

“I think the important thing to recognize here is that once this incident occurred, everything happened that should have,” she said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “We trained for this. We planned for this.”

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” she said: “One thing I’d like to point out is that the system worked.”

The statement was swiftly condemned. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the system “failed in every respect.”

On Fox News, Napolitano clarified Monday that she was referring to security precautions that went into effect for other flights following the incident in Detroit.

“My comment was that once this incident occurred we were able to immediately notify the 128 flights already in the air from Europe,” she said. “We were able to immediately institute new security precautions. … And we were immediately able to provide additional security for the traveling public.”

She said the current system was in place before she took the helm at the Department of Homeland Security, and that she was “familiar” with that system. She said officials will now look “backwards” to determine what went wrong.

“This individual was able to get on this plane with this material. That should not have happened,” she said.

Some lawmakers continued to express concern Monday about the administration’s response to the incident, and warning signs that were missed.

Harold Demuren, the head of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, said Abdulmutallab paid cash on Dec. 16 for the $2,831 round-trip ticket from Lagos, Nigeria, to Detroit via Amsterdam — a ticket that came from a KLM office in Accra, Ghana. Demuren said Abdulmutallab checked into his flight with only a small carryon bag.

King said that alone should have qualified the passenger for “secondary screening.”

“What more do you need to at least give the guy a pat down?” he told Fox News, adding that Napolitano needs to show some “intensity” over the attempted attack.

“Janet Napolitano has now told two different stories in two days. First she said everything worked. Now she says it didn’t work,” King said.

“Success is stopping these attacks, not responding to them,” Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., told Fox News.

Law enforcement officials believed the suspect tried to ignite a two-part concoction of the high explosive PETN and possibly a glycol-based liquid explosive, setting off popping, smoke and some fire but no deadly detonation.

An apparent malfunction in a device designed to detonate the PETN may have been all that saved the 278 passengers and the crew aboard Northwest Flight 253. No undercover air marshal was on board and passengers and crew subdued the suspect when he tried to set off the explosion. He succeeded only in starting a fire on himself.

Security experts said airport “puffer” machines that blow air on a passenger to collect and analyze residues would probably have detected the powder, as would bomb-sniffing dogs or a hands-on search using a swab. Most passengers in airports only go through magnetometers, which detect metal rather than explosives.

People across Asia paused Saturday to observe the fifth anniversary of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2004 that killed up to 230,000 people in about a dozen countries.

The devastating December 26 tsunami destroyed entire coastal communities, decimated families and crashed over tourist-filled beaches, sweeping away everyone and everything in its path.

Brief memorials were held in mosques throughout the region beside mass graves, and at seaside resorts and communities on the rim of the Indian Ocean.

The tsunami was triggered by an undersea earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 that struck off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra.  Over the next seven hours, a wall of water reached across the Indian Ocean, devastating coastal areas as far away as East Africa.

In a coincidence, a strong earthquake struck Indonesia on Saturday just before 6 p.m. local time (0857 UTC). The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake, measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale, was centered in the Banda Sea region off the Tanimbar Islands. A tsunami warning was not issued by authorities, and there were no immediate reports of injury or serious damage.

In the 2004 tsunami some locations reported waves of nine meters or more on the shoreline. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Maldives and Thailand sustained massive damage. 

Tens of thousands were reported dead or missing in Sri Lanka and India, a large number of them on the Indian Andaman and Nicobar Islands territory. The low-lying island country of Maldives reported more than 100 casualties and immense economic damage.  Several thousand tourists vacationing in the region also were reported dead or missing.

The lack of food, clean water and medical treatment   extended the list of casualties.

Long-term environmental damage was severe as well, with villages, tourist resorts, farmland and fishing grounds demolished or inundated with debris, bodies and plant-killing salt water.

A snow-white Christmas was in store for a large area of the country on Thursday night as a severe winter storm barreled across the Midwest and Great Plains, unleashing fierce winds, heavy snow and icy conditions that disrupted travel plans for thousands.

The powerful storm began on Wednesday and was expected to continue through Christmas and into Saturday, dropping as much as two feet of snow across Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota and South Dakota. The National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings in five states — including Texas, Oklahoma and Wisconsin — and warned of dangerous conditions throughout the central United States.

The East Coast, meanwhile, was bracing for treacherous weather as well. States from North Carolina to New York were expected to be hit with ice and freezing rain on Friday, raising the prospect of downed utility lines and power outages through the weekend.

AccuWeather forecasters predicted that a number of Interstate highways along the Eastern Seaboard — including 70, 80 and 81 — could be slick with ice by Friday. They also warned that cities stretching from Boston and New York down to Washington and Richmond were at risk of flooding brought on by a combination of heavy rain and melting snow.

In the nation’s midsection, snow plows and salt trucks were dispatched to help clear major arteries and prevent snow from building up, but forecasters predicted they would be of little use.

“Snow will be falling at a rate that snow plows are not able to keep up with,” AccuWeather reported on its Web site, “while winds gusting past 40 miles per hour will cause severe blowing and drifting along with whiteout conditions.”

Many airports in the region were relatively uncrowded, but passengers who showed up for flights in Chicago, Houston and other major hubs had to contend with scattered cancellations and delays. Some airports, including Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, shut down completely on Thursday.

Those who took to the highways fared no better, facing icy roads and slick conditions that made driving a hazard in at least eight states. Since the storm began, about a dozen people have died in car crashes on snowy and sleet-slicked roads, The Associated Press reported. One major highway that cuts through the eastern section of South Dakota — Interstate 29 — was completely shut down, and the National Guard was on standby to help rescue stranded motorists.

WASHINGTON — The Senate approved sweeping health-overhaul legislation on Thursday, a landmark moment for White House-led efforts to expand insurance coverage to more than 30 million Americans.

The bill, approved by a 60-39 vote, would deliver on a long-promised Democratic goal of extending coverage to nearly every American, and would represent the biggest expansion of the federal safety net since the 1965 creation of Medicare, the health-insurance program for the elderly and disabled.

Thursday’s vote was a victory for President Barack Obama, who made the issue his top domestic priority despite lingering divisions among Democrats and the fierce opposition of Republicans. And it was a validation of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to build consensus on his side of the aisle, rather than reach across party lines, a move that would have forced a lowering of ambitions.

Negotiations now must begin to reconcile differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill, with the compromise bill facing another vote in each chamber. President Obama hopes to sign the bill before his State of the Union address in late January.

Republicans said the bill would impose massive regulatory and financial burdens on taxpayers and businesses, and would dig the government even deeper in debt. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) told the chamber just before the vote that Democrats should expect an “earful” from angry constituents when they go home

“This fight is long from over,” Mr. McConnell said. “My colleagues and I will fight to ensure this bill doesn’t become law. That’s the clear will of the American people.”

All 58 Democrats and two independents voted for the bill, while 39 Republicans voted against it. Sen. Jim Bunning (R., Ky.) did not vote.

Mr. Reid said he also expected to get an earful, but from Americans who will benefit from the expanded health-care coverage and new rules on insurance companies. “Our charge is to move forward,” he said, adding that the bill meets a national need that presidents have pushed for since Harry Truman. “Though some may slow the progress, they cannot stop it,” he said.

At the White House, President Obama welcomed the Senate vote and said, “We are now finally poised to deliver on the promise” of expanding care and overhauling the nation’s health system. Mr. Obama pressed lawmakers to “finish the job” and deliver a compromise package to his desk in the “coming weeks.”

With Christmas looming, Mr. Reid closed a series of last-minute deals to secure the support of balky Democrats and then plunged the Senate into a forced march, beginning with a 1 a.m. vote Monday and culminating with Thursday’s roll call at 7 a.m. on passage of the bill.

The 10-year $871 billion measure would expand Medicaid, the federal-state health program for the poor, and create new tax subsidies to help lower- and middle-income families comply with a mandate to purchase insurance. That mandate would be enforced by a financial penalty of up to $750 for any individual who fails to get coverage.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the legislation would reduce the budget deficit by $132 billion over the next decade, through a combination of tax increases on the health-care sector and spending cuts, which largely fall on Medicare payments to health-care providers.

The last time the Senate voted on Christmas Eve was 1895, the issue then being whether to provide federal benefits for U.S. servicemen. In a ceremony with 19th-century echoes, senators rose one by one Thursday from their simple wooden desks to cast their votes. Vice President Joe Biden presided over the chamber.

“Mr. President, this is for my friend Ted Kennedy. Aye,” said 92-year-old Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, referring to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, who was a champion of universal health care. Sen. Kennedy’s widow watched the vote from the gallery.

Sen. Chris Dodd (D., Conn.) called the vote the “most important” in his more than 20 years as a U.S. senator. “Progress is not easy,” he said. “Today we were able to prove it is not impossible.”

Mr. Reid, clearly worn from the week’s grueling schedule, initially voted “no,” to the surprise of many in the chamber. He put his head down on his desk, laughing, then stood again and changed his vote to “aye.”

Republicans accused Democrats of rushing the vote and noted that Mr. Reid put out a nearly 400-page amendment to the bill on Saturday “over the weekend of a snowstorm,” as Sen. Jon Kyl (R., Ariz.) put it. “This has been very troubling to a lot of us,” he said.

The bill’s passage puts Mr. Obama on the verge of creating a near-universal health-insurance system, an accomplishment that has eluded presidents since Theodore Roosevelt. By the end of the next decade, 94% of legal residents would have insurance coverage, up from 83% now, according to estimates by the CBO.

As soon as next year, consumers who enroll in new plans would no longer face lifetime limits on their insurance coverage, and insurers couldn’t drop people’s coverage because they get sick. By 2014, insurers could no longer deny any customers coverage because of a pre-existing health condition.

Insurance companies warn that the changes could raise premiums by bringing more people with health problems into the system while healthy people choose to go without coverage.

New state-based health-insurance exchanges would become the main marketplace for people buying coverage without the help of an employer, as well as some small employers. By 2019, about 30 million people are expected to get coverage through them.

Under the Senate bill, the exchange won’t include a public health-insurance plan – one of the most contentious aspects of the health debate. The Senate jettisoned the provision after Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the Connecticut independent, and some centrist Democrats objected to the idea. Instead, consumers would be able to shop on the exchange for plans managed by the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees insurance policies for federal workers.

The late-December vote means Congress won’t conclude action on the bill by year’s end, as the White House had once wanted. Leaders of the House and Senate are readying for negotiations that will begin shortly after the first of the year, and hope to forge a compromise package swiftly, possibly by the president’s State of the Union address in late January.

“Everyone is pushing for that,” said Dan Pfeiffer, Mr. Obama’s communications director. Mr. Pfeiffer suggested Senate passage is a demonstration that Congress and the White House can tackle seemingly intractable issues. “It’s not always pretty, but Washington still has the capacity to deal with big problems,” he said.

The House passed its version of health legislation Nov. 7, and tough negotiations loom with the Senate on a compromise package. Potential flashpoints include taxes and abortion policy, as well as the House’s proposed government-run health plan.

Mr. Reid, at least for now, is declining to entertain questions about how the two bills will be melded. He said he is looking forward to spending a few days at home in Nevada over the holidays. “I’m going to sit back and watch my rabbits eat my cactus,” he said.

The Senate bill would leave the existing employer-based health system largely intact, in an effort to ensure that already-insured Americans see no change in coverage. However, large companies would have to pay a penalty to the government if they do not provide affordable insurance and their workers end up seeking government assistance.

The last time Congress seriously pushed health overhaul legislation, in 1994, the effort died in the Senate. Fifteen years later, an opening to revive the issue was created with the election of a Democratic president and strong majorities in both chambers of Congress.

A series of breaks helped the Democrats secure the 60 votes needed to override the Republican filibuster. Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania switched parties. Al Franken, a Democrat, prevailed in the Minnesota Senate race by a tiny margin after a months-long recount. After Sen. Kennedy’s death, the Massachusetts legislature changed state law to allow his replacement to be seated immediately, rather than waiting for a special election.

The Senate health care bill took another step closer to passage Tuesday morning, moving ahead on a straight party-line vote during an unusual early morning session.

Tuesday’s 60-39 vote was the second in a series of three procedural motions to wind down debate on the measure and move it to final passage Christmas Eve — a vote that now could take place as late as 10 p.m. that night, under the current Senate schedule.

But the Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, hinted that Republicans may be willing to allow the final vote to take place before the night before Christmas.

“We are working on an agreement that will give certainty to the way to end this session, and hopefully the two of us together can be recommending something that makes sense for both sides in the not too distant future,” McConnell said, referring to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

Republicans are expected to discuss the vote’s timing at their policy lunch Tuesday.

Just before McConnell spoke, Reid made an appeal for more civility on the Senate floor, after the rancorous debate so far on the health care bill.

“I would hope that everyone would go back to their gentlemanly ways,” Reid said. “And I hope everyone will, as I’ve said to a number of people, [recall] Rodney King: ‘Let’s just all try to get along.’ ”

The vote lacked the drama of the Monday morning session, where Democrats proved they could hold all 60 members of the caucus together to advance President Barack Obama’s top legislative goal. Senators filtered into the chamber as the sun was rising, a contrast to the dead-of-night vote at 1 a.m. Monday.

For the second time this week, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was on hand in the Capitol to watch the debate.
But if the setting was a bit sleepy, the rhetoric remained just as strong, as Republicans such as Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas) continued to attack the bill as a dangerous overreach and Democrats defended it as a badly need fix for an ailing system.

The vote will decide “whether we are ending the current system in America, a system that currently rations care and says to 50 million Americans, you don’t have coverage. . . . We need to bring that system to an end,” said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)

Given the Senate’s schedule, and rigid rules about the timing and length of debate, all 60 senators have to come together three times before the final vote, originally scheduled for 7 p.m. Christmas Eve. This vote starts the next 30-hour clock on debate — meaning the third and final procedural vote would be about 2:15 p.m. Wednesday — but the timing could push the Christmas Eve vote to 9 p.m. or 10 p.m.

Democrats are clearly hoping the Republicans will relent. Reid (D-Nev.) made an appeal on the floor Tuesday morning to turn down the temperature. “‘This is time we figure out a way to leave here in a peaceful nature,” Reid said shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Reid met with McConnell on Monday, but as of then, Republicans were sticking to their plan to keep the Senate in session until the night before Christmas, saying it was the Democrats who were forcing the vote on the holiday week, not the GOP.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said he has an early-morning flight on Christmas and wasn’t changing his plans. “I am keeping my reservation for Christmas Day morning, and I am very happy as a citizen of this country, who cares deeply about the indebtedness that we have, I am very happy to keep it that way,” Corker said.

Tuesday’s vote came as a new Quinnipiac poll showed that American voters “mostly disapprove” of the health reform plan by a margin of 53 percent to 35 percent. They also disapprove of Obama’s handling of health care, 56 percent to 38 percent.

Voters also break 3 to 1 against using government money to pay for abortions, by a margin of 72 percent to 23 percent. The House and Senate have different mechanisms to ban federal funding of abortions, but the issue will be a controversial part of the final negotiations to merge the bills.

The Senate health care reform bill cleared a pair of hurdles Tuesday, putting Democrats halfway through a series of key votes and another big step closer to passing the bill by Christmas Eve.

The Senate voted 60-39 to shut down debate on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s original health care proposal, showing once again that Democrats have the minimum number of votes necessary to move the bill over GOP opposition. The chamber voted earlier Tuesday morning to approve a measure known as the “manager’s amendment,” which included all the latest changes to the overall health care bill. That measure needed a simple, 51-vote majority to pass.

The next vote is slated for Wednesday afternoon. The bill appears to have the momentum and support to push it through following months of intense negotiations — though it looks a lot different than it did when two Senate committees first considered it.

To get all 58 Democrats and two independents on board, Reid, among other things, had to drop a government-run insurance option and a Medicare buy-in and had to increase taxes by $25 billion more than planned, bringing the total tax increases to $518 billion.

“Our bill will bring needed relief to millions and millions of Americans (who) wake up every day without health insurance, or waking up every day afraid they’re going to lose their health insurance,” Reid said.

President Obama called the advance of the bill a “big victory” for Americans on Monday.

But Republicans say Obama broke campaign pledges by accepting the package.

“The president made a number of promises, now he’s changed all his promises,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. “He promised that people wouldn’t see their taxes go up, they will. The promised that we’d see health care premiums go down, oh, they’re going to go up. He said he’d protect Medicare, they’re going to cut $500 million from Medicare. He said if you like the coverage that you have you can keep it. That’s not true.”

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the new bill would reduce the deficit by $132 billion over the next 10 years but that does not count the so-called “doctor fix,” a yearly repeal of planned cuts in doctor reimbursements under Medicare, which was dropped from the bill. That would have cost $240 billion over 10 years, erasing the savings currently in the bill. The CBO also wrote downward the expected deficit savings in the next 10 years of the program.

Once the Senate passes its plan, it’ll have to negotiate with the House, which passed a very different bill. Senate Democrats have warned the House not to tinker with their version, or else it might not get the necessary votes to clear the Senate a final time.

COPENHAGEN — The United States and Russia are close, but still not quite there, on an agreement on a new arms control treaty that will reduce their strategic nuclear arsenals by at least one-quarter, President Obama and the Russian president, Dmitri A. Medvedev, said Friday.

Meeting on the outskirts of the global climate change conference here, the two men said they had resolved almost all of the remaining difficulties and planned to finalize a pact soon. “I’m confident we will conclude this agreement in a timely fashion,” Mr. Obama said, seated next to Mr. Medvedev for photographs after the hourlong meeting.

Obama administration officials had said before coming to Copenhagen that they did not expect to conclude the pact to replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 1991, known as Start, until after this trip and probably not until early next year.

On Friday, the White House said that negotiators had started on a holiday break that would last into early January.

Start expired on Dec. 5; the two countries have been operating on an interim agreement since. The new version of Start would require each side to reduce deployed strategic nuclear warheads to roughly 1,600, down from 2,200, administration officials said. It would also force each side to reduce its strategic bombers and land- and sea-based missiles to below 800, down from the old limit of 1,600. The remaining issues to be resolved center on verification, American officials said.

If the lingering differences can be addressed, the Obama administration hopes to build on the trust established in the last eight months and plunge back into talks for a broader agreement to reduce the number of deployed strategic warheads even further, perhaps to about 1,000 for each country, a level considered the lowest the two would go without bringing in China, Britain, France and other nuclear powers.

That agreement is expected to be far more difficult to achieve, nuclear experts said.
