| [An Nahar] Five men suspected of belonging to al-Qaeda were killed 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... Monday in a dronezap likely to have been carried out by the United States, a security official said. The strike on Juba in the central Marib province, the site of a ground raid by U.S. commandos in May, killed five Yemenis and "foreigners" in an attack that targeted a gathering of people "known to belong to al-Qaeda," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... He declined to elaborate on the nationalities of those killed. The United States considers the Yemen-based 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... to be the group's most dangerous branch. A long-running drone war against AQAP has intensified since President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... took office in January. An air raid he ordered that month killed a U.S. Navy SEAL and several Yemeni civilians in Baida province, south of Marib. |
