attack by al qaeda. yemen is widely considered a hot sped-- hot bed of terrorist activity. just this week drone strikes in the country may have killed at least two dozen suspected al qaeda militants, according to yemeni officials. on friday the president would not comment on u.s. military action in yemen. >> i'm to the going to discuss specific operations that have taken lace. >> intelligence analysts tell cbs news it is unlikely that security concerns throughout the middle east and north africa have been completely resolved. senator john mccain believes al qaeda remains a serious threat at home and abroad. >> the action of closing these embassies shows that they're able to mount threats everywhere in the middle east against the united states of america. >> still u.s. officials think it's safe to reopen 18 of the 19 embassies closed last week. and there is rare bipartisan agreement that taking the action in response to the threat was the right decision. >> any time an american is

6:06 pm
major, what does the white house make of this? >> well, the president's spokespeople have told me, jeff that they don't believe the president said anything inflammatory to poison the well on a potential snowden trial. they say the same thing is true of the justice department. they have no control with members-- what members of congress may say about this case. they also say the evidence is clear, at least from their perspective that felonies were committed here and edward snowden if he comes back to the united states will receive a fair trial. the other grievances aired by the snowed enfamily that the president's whistle-blower protections weren't sufficient, the white house says they're the first ones ever put in place by a president of the united staelingts and should have been tested before edward snowden released these classified documents outside of the system. so those two key elements are what the white house says can be done and should have been done in this classified leaking case. >> jeff: major garrett from martha's vineyard, major, thank you. >> in afghanistan three u.s. soldiers were reportedly killed today along the border with pakistan in a fire fight with insurgents. the first nato combat deaths this month.

6:08 pm
there was no sign of an increase of security, military or police presence. but the numbers there are huge. there are tens of thousands of people there, including hundreds of children. now the government has repeatedly said that it wants to disperse these camps gradually that it wants to disperse these camps peacefully. but with so many people at these camps who are saying that they are willing to risk their lives to stand their ground, the concern is that this could get very bloody, very quickly. >> jeff: clarissa ward in cairo, thank you. >> later prime time for the summer's big meteor light show. and baby boomers migrating to spots typically taken by their kids or grandkids. those stories when the "cbs evening news" continues.
