Yemen's Aden governor killed in car bombing claimed by Islamic State
[REUTERS] The governor of Aden was killed by a boom-mobile on Sunday in Yemen's southern port city, in an attack that Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... grabbed credit for. A local official and residents said at least six members of General Jaafar Mohammed Saad's entourage also died in the attack, which targeted the governor on his way to work. Several other people were maimed. The attack came in the Tawahi district of Aden, where President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi has returned to oversee a war against Iran-allied Houthis. Islamic State, in a statement posted on a messaging service, said it detonated a car laden with explosives as Saad's convoy passed by. The group promised more operations against "the heads of apostasy in Yemen". The group also posted what it said were photos of the booby-trapped vehicle as a white van carrying Saad drove past, then two other photos of a huge ball of fire which it said were taken as the bomb went kaboom!. A local official and residents said earlier on Sunday a jacket wallah rammed his vehicle into the governor's car. ISIS sez they dunit Posted by: Fred 2015-12-07 |
