[Yemen Post] Ansar Al-Sharia, a group affiliated to al-Qaeda, announced Friday it would hold a presser in the southern Yemeni province of Abyan.The terrorist group invited all internal and international news agencies to attend the conference set to take place today.
Al-Qaeda did not; however, reveal what sort of announcements will be made at the conference. But some sources asserted it would clarify what's going on in the province and its position regarding the return of refugees to their homes.
Ansar Al-Sharia has been involved in fierce battles with security force since May when it took over Zinjubar, the bustling provincial capital of Abyan, leaving hundreds killed of the two sides and displacing tens of thousands.
It's noteworthy that this move is the first of its kind for the al-Qaeda affiliated group.
