Fresh Strike Kills Four Qaeda Suspects in Yemen, Website
2012-10-22
[Yemen Post] At least four Al-Qaeda suspects were killed in an Arclight airstrike in Yemen's Marib province on Sunday night, Almasdar Online reported quoting a statement by local sources.

"A warplane targeted a car in the Wadi Abida area that was suspicious of carrying Al-Qaeda jihad boys," the sources said.

The strike came two days after Al-Qaeda, whose members have recently started to regroup in the south, raided a military base killing and injuring tens of soldiers.

"Another car of Al-Qaeda was seen at the site after the strike taking the bodies of the killed to an unknown place," the sources added.

Among those who were killed was Sanad Oraidan Al-Okaili, a brother of an Al-Qaeda leader who was killed in 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 Emirate after 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...
few months ago, the website said.

The Yemeni army is continuing a massive hunt for Al-Qaeda operatives across the republic killing, wounding and arresting many of them including big shots.

US drones have largely contributed to successful strikes targeting Orcs and similar vermin in southern and southeastern regions.
