Zinjibar is Yemen's latest city to be overtaken by violence, as chaos spreads after more than four months of protests that began in the capital, Sana'a. Earlier this month President Ali Abdullah Saleh flew to exile in Saudi Arabia after he was wounded in an attack on his compound. The government, now answerable to Mr Saleh's vice-president, says Zinjibar has fallen to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a shadowy clutch of a few hundred militants who look for inspiration if not for orders to the organisation founded by the late Osama bin Laden. In light of the recent surge in violence, American co-operation with Yemen's forces has increased. American weapons are said to be targeting leading jihadists with armed drones and fighter jets. Zinjibar may find itself run by a mixture of jihadists, including both AQAP and criminal gangs; exclusive AQAP rule seems unlikely at present.
