Nine Qaeda Operatives Including Senior Leader Killed in Yemen Raid
[Yemen Post] At least nine Al-Qaeda operatives were killed including most dangerous leaders from AQAP and its offshoot Ansar Al-Sharia in a Yemeni raid early on Thursday.The state-run September 26 website quoted a military source in 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... province as saying the Death Eaters were targeted in the Jabalain area. "They were surrounded and raided by the 119 infantry brigade and the pro-government popular committees as Al-Qaeda continued to receive devastating blows," the source said. "Nadir Haider Nasser Al-Shadadi, one of the most wanted leaders of Al-Qaeda, was among those killed," the source continued. This month, Yemen sentenced several terrorist suspects to death and to years in prison after convicting them of joining Al-Qaeda and forming gangs that attacked military and security chiefs, offices and public properties. Earlier this year, the Yemeni army launched a US-backed offensive and drove Al-Qaeda Death Eaters out of their strongholds in Abyan and Shabwa provinces. Hundreds of Death Eaters including big shots were killed, injured and enjugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! The authorities are now continuing a massive hunt for the remaining operatives, with many key of them and cells enjugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in the past few months.
