I'm surprised that this did not grab any attention when the story broke two months ago, by Fox News no less. Americans and Saudis have been paying jihadists and helping them against the Houthis supported by Iran. It's absolutely disgusting how US vowed to hunt down the terrorist organization responsible for 911 attack to actively cooperating with them in Yemen.
Looks like the American War on Terror transformed into another War on Drugs, a cesspit of muddied geopolitics and corruption without a clear end game or even achievable goals.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-allies-al-qaeda-battle-rebels-in-yemenATAQ, Yemen – Again and again over the past two years, a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia and backed by the United States has claimed it won decisive victories that drove Al Qaeda militants from their strongholds across Yemen and shattered their ability to attack the West. Here's what the victors did not disclose: many of their conquests came without firing a shot.
That's because the coalition cut secret deals with Al Qaeda fighters, paying some to leave key cities and towns and letting others retreat with weapons, equipment and wads of looted cash, an investigation by The Associated Press has found. Hundreds more were recruited to join the coalition itself.
