| 2016-05-29 |
[AnNahar] Yemeni authorities on Saturday tossed in the clinkKeep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! seven Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group suspects, including one "Westerner", in second city Aden, a police officer told Agence La Belle France Presse. The arrests are part of a government offensive against IS and Al-Qaeda, which have claimed a wave of deadly attacks in recent months in Yemen's south and southeast. Among these were twin bombings claimed by IS that hit loyalist forces in Aden on Monday, killing at least 41 people. "We arrested seven ISIS (IS) members, among them a Western Muslim, in Mansura" district of Aden, said officer Munir al-Yafie, who took part in the raid, without giving further details. IS and Al-Qaeda have exploited the power vacuum created by more than a year of conflict between pro-government forces and Iran-backed rebels to expand their zones of control in Yemen. Government forces drove the rebels out of the port city of Aden and other southern provinces since July with support from the Saudi-led coalition which launched its operations in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... in March 2015. But authorities have struggled to secure Aden, where Sunni jihadists emerged after the rebels left the city. Aden is serving as the temporary government headquarters as the Shiite Houthis and their allies control capital Sanaa. |
