Army foils al-Qaeda attempt to capture town
2012-06-05
[Yemen Post] The Yemeni army has foiled an Al-Qaeda attempt to take control on Attaq, the capital of Shabwa governorate, after the army imposed a siege on Al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons in the neighboring governorate of 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.

Chief of Attaq district, Abdullah Al-Sumnah, reiterated that security sources in collaboration with local rustics could strongly foiled an Al-Qeeda's plot.

He affirmed that Al-Qaeda operatives were planning to attack security checkpoints or infiltrating to the town through byways, asserting that tight security measures were taken to confront any Al-Qaeda potential raids.

demanded to demobilize members of the Popular Resistance Committees and hand over the positions retaken again from Al-Qaeda to the Republican Guard.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?
Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.
If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

a car boom went kaboom!, killing four rustics and wounding another of what is called the Popular Resistance Committees formed of rustics to back the army, the Defense Ministry said. Military sources said six jihadists died in festivities with troops, elsewhere in Abyan.
