Security Tight after Deadly Bombing in Yemen Capital
2012-07-13
[Yemen Post] Yemeni security forces were deployed to the streets of the capital Sanaa to prevent possible terrorist attacks against foreign targets, hours after a jacket wallah killed ten police cadets and injured about20 others.

The Al-Qaeda bomber went kaboom!" at the police academy while tens of cadets were coming out and the authorities identified the bomber who died in hospital several hours after the operation.

The bombing was the second in the recent two months after the deadliest attack on a military parade rehearsal in May, which killed more than one hundred security forces and injured three hundred others.

The forces were inspecting cars, cycle of violences and some persons in main streets and blocks coinciding with orders to tight security around key local and foreign offices and residences including those of foreign diplomats in Sanaa.

The interior ministry said the move was aimed at placing the security authorities on high alert to face possible terrorist attacks after Al-Qaeda vowed to take warfare with the government into the capital.

Protecting the foreign embassies and the residences of foreign diplomats is a top priority at the moment, it said.

The Yemeni army drove Al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons out of their strongholds in the south after a US-backed offensive in the past few months. Hundreds of faceless myrmidons including big shots were killed and cooled for a few years
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
Now, the authorities are pursuing the remaining faceless myrmidons who beat feet from 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...
and Shabwa within an extensive hunt across the republic.
