| Qaida Says Attack on Saudi to Avenge U.S. Drones |
| 2014-07-19 |
| [An Nahar] Al-Qaeda in Yemen has said that its attack on a Saudi border point earlier this month was in Dire Revenge™ for providing U.S. drones with "land and sky" to target myrmidons, SITE Intelligence said. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula had already grabbed credit for the July 5 operation in which six myrmidons, and five officers on the two sides of the border were killed. After initially saying the attack was in Dire Revenge™ for Islamist "female captives" held in Saudi prisons, the jihadist group now says it was also for the "disgraceful actions" of Saudi authorities by helping U.S. drone strikes, the U.S.-based monitoring group said. In a statement posted online Thursday, AQAP accused Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... of "opening the land and sky of the Peninsula of (Prophet) Mohammed to American drones," SITE reported. "It was necessary to respond by taking Dire Revenge™ and disciplining this immoral regime that wears the cloak of religion falsely," it added. The United States is the only country operating drones over Yemen, but U.S. officials rarely acknowledge the covert operations. The six Death Eaters killed in the operations were Saudi nationals wanted by authorities, according to the interior ministry. The ministry had said that the Death Eaters attacked the Wadia border post, in the south of the kingdom, across from Yemen's southeastern Hadramawt province, whose rugged terrain provides hideouts for AQAP myrmidons. AQAP, born in 2009 of a fusion of the Saudi and Yemeni branches of al-Qaeda, is considered by Washington to be the jihadist network's most dangerous affiliate. |
