Hadi strongly refuses talks to Al-Qaeda
[Yemen Post] President Abdurabu Mansour Hadi...the second and possibly the last president of Yemen, successor to former President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh... has strongly refused talks to Al-Qaeda that takes control on some parts of the southern Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... and Shabwa governorates, a state-run newspaper, 26 September said on Thursday. It further quoted well-informed source as saying that Hadi refuses dialogue with al-Qaeda and all other terrorist groups, stressing that the president is determined to pursue the terrorist organization and eradicate it through all possible means. The source affirmd that Hadi will deal with al-Qaeda via laws, military and security settlement, pointing out that the terrorist groups do not know dialogue. "Terrorist groups committed crimes against troops, citizens and foreigners who come to visit Yemen" it added. Al-Qaeda gunnies took control a year ago on Abyan and some areas of Shabwa as they exploited turbulences that hit Yemen in 2011 and that led to the outset of the former president Ali Saleh. Western countries including the United Sates support efforts of Yemen's president to defeat Al-Qaeda. Media sources said the Yemeni army prepares to launch large-scale attack to cleanse areas controlled by Al-Qaeda in Abyan. Hadi had vowed in address delivered before Yemeni officers and troops last week that he will defeat Al-Qaeda. However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... Al-Qaeda attacked hours after the address a military position in Abyan, killed and captured dozens of the Yemeni troops. The jacket wallah dispatched by the Yemen branch of Al Qaeda last month to blow up a United States-bound airliner was actually an intelligence agent for Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face... who infiltrated the terrorist group and volunteered for the mission, American and foreign officials said on Tuesday.
