Separately, a jacket wallah on a cycle of violence was killed on the spot when he went "kaboom!" before he reached a military checkpoint in Abyan on Wednesday, local media reported.Al-Qaeda has intensified its attacks on military posts and brigades since February of last year, taking an advantage of the unrest resulted by the Yemeni revolution. It has managed to take control of some towns in Abyan and Shabwa provinces. US has voiced its concerns of the free activities of al-Qaeda in the southern parts of Yemen, increasing its drones which roam the sky in search for the terrorists.
For some reason, the Yemenis don't seem to be bitching about violations of their sovreignty when we zap somebody.
