| Yemeni army pushes Al Qaeda militants out of Mahfad |
| 2015-03-10 |
| Sanaa -- Yemeni military officials said Al Qaeda militants staged an intense assault on a southern town and overran it for several hours before a counter-attack by the army pushed them out. The officials said Monday’s fighting over the town of Mahfad in Abyan province, a former Al Qaeda stronghold, lasted for eight hours. They said the militants took control of the town council building and several army checkpoints and moved in on a key army base. The clashes killed four Yemeni soldiers and seven Al Qaeda militants. Yemen’s Al Qaeda branch has taken advantage of a deep political crisis roiling the country amid a Houthi rebel power grab, which has plunged it close to full-blown civil war. |

| #1 IIRC RELATED BHARAT RAKSHAK > POSTER: ARMED CLASHES REPORTED BETWEEN YEMENI HOUTHIS AND AL-QAEDA ELEMENTS IN YEMEN. Also IIRC via SAME > RUSSIA has repor decided to recognize Yemen's Govt-in-exile in Aden, which means the Houthis will have to look elsewhere for Great Power = Major International Recognition. * RUSSIA TODAY > HOUTHI LEADER ACCUSES GULF STATES OF BACKING AL-QAEDA IN YEMEN. AQIY aka AQAP is there as repor also now are AL-NUSRA elements from Syria. AGAIN, WILL THE SUNNI ISIS/ISIL BE ASKED TO MILITARILY INTERVENE AGZ HOUTHIS = IRAN, poten setting the stage or background for a US-N-KSA-VS-IRAN = US-IRAN MilPol Confrontation + possibly War, which AFAIC would also be a litmus test as per [rival or competing] OWG Globalist Co-Superpowers. OWG GLOBALISM = ARE THE DAYS OF THE "GREAT GAME" OF THE 19-20TH CENTURIES, ETC. TRULY OVER, AS DESIRED BY "[US-n-Only-The-US] RETREAT IS WORLD PEACE" MINDED OWG GLOBIES, OR IN ALTERN ABOUT TO GET MUCHO WORSE??? |
