US sends warning to backers of Yemeni President Saleh

WASHINGTON - The United States warned supporters of former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh on Wednesday it may freeze their assets if they hamper the transfer of power in the Gulf nation.
President Barack Obama signed an executive order allowing US authorities to sanction members of Yemen@@@s government or others who endanger its stability, notably by obstructing a November 23 deal that ultimately brought an end to Saleh@@@s 33-year reign.
The order aims to bolster President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who has given Washington much greater latitude to attack the Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula group blamed for a failed Christmas Day 2009 underwear bomb attack.
