Russia Today – TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Feb 2011

The same will happen in Yemen and Somalia and a number of other countries where they now have undercover operations,” he told RT. Moreover, the sociologist believes what is going to happen in those areas – for instance, in Afghanistan – will not even be decided in Washington.
