Al-Qaeda Threatens to Kill U.S. Journalist in Yemen 
----------------------------------------------------


 
Al-Qaeda militants in Yemen have released a video threatening to execute
a U.S. journalist taken hostage last year. Luke Somers is a
photojournalist who was captured in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. U.S.
commandos reportedly tried to rescue Somers last week, but missed him,
instead freeing several other hostages, most of them Yemeni.
