VELSHI: OK. It's time now for "Globe Trekking." In Yemen, a manhunt is underway this hour for an al Qaeda bomb maker accused of being behind the failed airplane cargo bomb plot that we saw unveiled on Thursday, unraveled on Thursday. Saudi national Ibrahim al-Asiri is believed to be in Yemen. Officials say he probably made the two bombs discovered in two separate cargo planes on Friday. They had the same material, by the way, as the bomb that was made on Christmas Day. He is also believed to have made that so-called underwear bomb in bid to blow up a jetliner as it landed in Detroit, last year. In a related move, Yemen, today, began the trail in absentia of American-born, radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. He's wanted by the U.S. government for links to al Qaeda. And also today, suspected al Qaeda militants blew up an oil pipeline in southern Yemen, operated by a South Korean company. No injuries or deaths have been reported from that. OK. Michelle Rhee was hired to fix the schools in Washington, D.C. Her reforms led to the firing of hundreds of teachers, even some school closings. You're going to meet her and find out what she thinks can be done to fix schools across this country.
