| [AnNahar] Suspected al-Qaeda murderous Moslems killed 11 Yemeni soldiers in three separate attacks Sunday, including suicide boom-mobileings, in a second day of deadly operations against the military, army sources said. Three soldiers were killed when a jacket wallah rammed an explosives-laden bus into an army post in the southern Shabwa province town of Maifaa, one source told Agence La Belle France-Presse. Ten soldiers were maimed in the attack. Almost at the same time three more soldiers were killed and five maimed in nearby Azzan village when al-Qaeda suspects opened fire with automatic weapons at another military post, another army source said. Witnesses said festivities erupted between the gunnies and soldiers after the Azzan attack. And on the outskirts of Azzan, another vehicle-borne suicide bomber attacked an army barracks, "killing five soldiers and wounding two," a regional government official said. Early on Saturday a double attack, also including a suicide boom-mobileing, targeted troops in southeast Yemen, leaving four soldiers dead. Ten al-Qaeda suspects were also killed in an exchange of fire with soldiers at the Qatan army barracks in restive Hadramawt province. Also on Saturday, a police officer was killed outside his home by gunnies who fired from a cycle of violence, with a local official blaming al-Qaeda for the drive-by shooting. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, considered by Washington as the most dangerous affiliate of the jihadist network, is active across several parts of Yemen, taking advantage of a collapse of central authority during a 2011 uprising that ousted veteran president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... . |
