Wait, before you go…The Huffington Post:
“Somebody in our government said to me in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen, Iraq was yesterday’s war. Afghanistan is today’s war. If we don’t act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow’s war,” Lieberman said, during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday”. “That’s the danger we face.”

A spokesman for the Sunni Muslim group says the assault is not related to the death of Iran's Qassem Soleimani.
