Washington (CNN) -- The United States is closely monitoring a "credible threat" from al Qaeda in Yemen against the U.S. homeland, two senior officials told CNN.
華盛頓（CNN） -美國正密切監視一單來自也門的阿蓋達針對美國本土的“可信威脅”，兩名高級官員告訴CNN。
At the same time, one official Wednesday cautioned that the threat is fairly general in nature and does not have too much specificity -- and the second said this is not a case of "we connected the dots to something imminent."
與此同時，一名官員星期三警告，威脅的性質是幾普通，沒有太多的特殊性-和第二位說，這不是一宗“迫在眉睫我們要將點連埋的東西。”
The first official did say, though, that the U.S. had gleaned that al Qaeda is already "adapting" to new U.S. security measures and that, in part, has raised the concerns.
A third source said that in following up on accused Christmas Day airplane bomber Omar Farouk AbdulMutallab, officials came across some information relevant to aviation. A fourth source confirmed the information has to do with aviation and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The level of concern is "measurable" this source said, adding "There is more prickling of the neck hair."
The U.S. has some information about time frame, this source continued, saying, "It is more definitive than it usually is."
The U.S. does not have information on location, however, and the source would not say if officials have a name or nationality of the person or persons involved. This source pointed out that aviation security is rigid already and that no additional protective measures have been taken. But, the source says, "there is a lot of stuff going on in the next day or two" relating to analysis.

And another U.S. counterterrorism official told CNN, "Everyone is looking closely at AQAP in the aftermath of the AbdulMutallab attempt."

也門高級官員說，15日在北部，軍方針對基地組織的車隊發動空襲，擊斃6名疑似該組織的領導人，其中包括也門基地組織的首腦卡西姆雷米 (Qassem al-Rimi)。
也門戰機是以空對地導彈攻擊基地組織的車隊，擊斃6人。
卡西姆雷米是也門當局通緝的152名疑犯之一。他是2006年2月從也門監獄越獄，事件使也門政府顏面盡失。
