| [ALARABY.CO.UK] Four Yemeni soldiers were killed and seven others maimed on Friday in a suspected al-Qaeda suicide boom-mobileing 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... , a security source said. The attack targeted a commander of the UAE-backed Yemeni government forces in Khanfar area, Abu Abdullah al-Shaneeni, who suffered wounds, the source said. A bully boy from 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... drove the car into the forces who have been fighting the group in southern Yemen, the source added. Government troops have recently scored key victories against al-Qaeda Death Eaters in Aden, Abyan and Lahaj provinces which prompted the group to launch counterattacks. |
