| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemeni forces killed a suspected local al-Qaeda chief Monday in a clash at his house 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... , security officials said. A Yemeni soldier also died and another was maimed after troops stormed the residence of an alleged murderous Moslem identified as Abdullah Hubaibat, on the outskirts of the town of Loder, the officials said. Two other snuffies suspects were maimed in the fight, while a third was tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! , the sources told AFP. Government forces backed by a Saudi-led coalition entered Abyan’s capital Zinjibar last month and recaptured other towns across the province. The Arab coalition battling Iran-backed militias 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... has also been providing government troops with air cover throughout their war against al-Qaeda and the ISIS group. The United States has carried out numerous drone strikes against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... (AQAP) operatives in Yemen. |
