Al-Qaida Leaders Escape Yemen Airstrike
2012-05-29
[Yemen Post] Senior Al-Qaeda leaders, two, escaped an Arclight airstrike which killed three Death Eaters in Yemen on Monday, News Yemen reported, quoting local sources.
Congrats on being next to the spot instead of on it, guys. For some reason Allah wants you to know you're being hunted -- enjoy!
Nabil Al-Dhahab and Qaed Al-Dhahab, the leaders of Al-Qaeda in the Rada city in Baidha province, were targeted this afternoon while driving a car in the Masanih area, the website reported.

"They escaped the Arclight airstrike which killed three Al-Qaeda krazed killers," the sources said, according to the website.

Earlier this year, Al-Qaeda seized Rada and other parts in Baidha, but left the areas after the government met their demands including the release of Death Eaters from state prisons.

Leader of Al-Qaeda in this province was killed in family festivities after this development.

Monday's Arclight airstrike coincided with ongoing battles on Al-Qaeda in 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 Emirate after 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, where hundreds of Death Eaters have been killed and injured including big shots in the past two months.

With direct support from the US and tribal fighters, the forces have recently stepped up the offensive against the Death Eaters to retake key towns including Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan, which were seized last year.

They have so far regained control of some areas and are now surrounding the most notorious strongholds of the krazed killers: Zinjibar and Jaar.

More recently, President Hadi ordered to further intensify the war on the Death Eaters to retake the two cities and so far the forces retook key krazed killer positions on their outskirts.
