Washington Post/AP – President Barack Obama served notice Wednesday that he would punish those trying to disrupt the political transition in Yemen, a strategically important Middle Eastern nation, by freezing their U.S.-based assets.
An executive order gives the Treasury Department to power to act against those said by the White House to “threaten the peace, security and stability” of Yemen.
