According to an Associated Press's report, the United States is reconsidering some aid to Mideast ally Yemen after the reported release of a convicted leader in the fatal terror bombing of a U.S. warship, the newspaper said. Yemen scrambled Monday to say the suspect is in custody. State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack said the United States is raising the case of Jamal Al-Badawi with Yemen. “This was someone who was implicated in the Cole bombing and someone who can't be running free,” he said. “He needs to be in jail.” Separately, the Millennium Challenge Corp., a U.S. agency that distributes foreign aid based on nations' track records for good government, canceled a ceremony set for Wednesday to inaugurate a $20.6 million grant to Yemen.
