The armed forces of the United Nations recognized government of Yemen claim Monday they've taken control of Mocha City from Ansar al-Ahla, also known as the Houthis, as an opening shot in a strategic offensive against the Houthi-led capital of Sana'a.
Meanwhile, the Mecca Alliance of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan agreed to collective deterrence measures in response to what they call heinous attacks by the Yemen Houthis.
And in an unusual move over the weekend, the United States withdrew a dozen B-1 Lancer bombers from RAF Fairford, an air base in the United Kingdom.
The planes have already begun arriving at a United States base in South Dakota.
It's not unusual to see rotations happen and movement of assets to different parts of the world based on exercises, redeployments, people changing out and new people coming in, new planes coming in, old planes going out.
Oh, we have confidence in the security of all of our bases.
President Trump said there was some fear of an attack after a group of men were arrested near the base last week, although they carried no explosives or weapons.
They didn't fly out by accident.
There were some threats rather than tempting the enemy.
We'll capture the enemy and beat the enemy.
But why should we leave them there? We moved them around a little bit, not very far.
The five men were released on bail as part of an investigation of what was initially called a terror plot.
