| Al-Qaeda Continues To Target Security Officials In Yemen |
| 2013-05-20 |
| [YemenPost] Police sources confirmed on Sunday that gunnies linked to al-Qaeda in the south-eastern province of Hadhramawt killed a Yemeni intelligence officer in a drive-by attack on Friday evening. True to its infamous guerrilla tactic, the terror group once again managed to successfully carry out a Dire Revenge™ attack against Yemen counter-terror services in the province, asserting its ability to carry out attacks undetected. Despite the government's best efforts, officers all across the country have fallen victims of al-Qaeda since 2011, a sign said security expert that al-Qaeda's potency to harm remains intact. Colonel Abdullah al-Ribaki was bumped off in a residential neighborhood of Mukalla, the regional capital of Hadhramawt by two unknown gunnies on a cycle of violence. Officials told the press that "al-Qaeda is behind the killing." Al-Ribaki who was walking home when the attack took place was shot six times at point-blank range with a revolver fitted with a silencer. The attack comes amid threats from Ansar al-Sharia ...a Yemeni Islamist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends... , an offshoot of al-Qaeda in the region, that its forces of Evil are moving to the offensive in the province to claim control, challenging the authority of the central government. An estimated 80 intelligence officers have been killed by al-Qaeda since 2011. As al-Qaeda forces of Evil are concentrating their attacks in the province of Hadhramawt, fears persist that the terror group will try to replicate its 2011 expansion move. As revolutionaries were calling for reforms in the capital, Sana'a, Islamic forces of Evil decided to use the power vacuum to their advantage by seizing large swathes of lands in the southern province 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 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... . Their occupation of Jaar and Zinjibar culminated by the proclamation of two Caliphates. While the government managed after a bloody and lengthy military operation to drive out the terror forces of Evil from Abyan, it failed to destroyed their cells now believed to have spread nationwide. |
