War-Torn Yemen Battered by Historic Cyclone 
--------------------------------------------


 
War-torn Yemen has been battered by a tropical cyclone, marking the
first time in recorded history a tropical storm has ever made landfall
there. Parts of Yemen saw as much rain in 24 hours as they usually see
in several years. The port city of Mukalla, controlled by al-Qaeda
militants, has been particularly hard hit by flooding. Scientists have
warned of a link between stronger tropical storms and climate change.
