2012-12-03
[Yemen Post] Qaeda has denied its responsibility for the killing of a Saudi diplomat, Khalid Al-Enizi in Sana'a on Thursday, a Yemeni newspaper quoted sources of al-Qaeda as saying.

Alyaman Alyawam Newspaper owned by the former president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh
... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...
added that al-Qaeda paid money to kidnappers of a Saudi diplomat, Abdullah al-Khalidi, who was kidnapped last March.

It further spelt out he was kidnapped due disagreements with a Yemeni tribal family.

The Saudi Ambassador to Yemen, Ali al-Hamadan, had said that gunnies attempted to abduct al-Enizi, singling out that he resisted them and they killed them shot up him.

Yemen's security authorities offered on Wednesday $25 thousand to anyone who will give information that might lead to the arrest of the killers of a Saudi diplomat, Khalid al-Enizi.

Gunmen dressed in security force uniforms of the Central Security killed al-Eniz and his bodyguard close to his residency at the heart of the capital Sana'a.

Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face...

Hadi conducted an offensive against Al-Qaeda and could cleanse them from their main hideouts 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...
and Shabwa governorates, but Al-Qaeda resorted to use other tactics including liquidations and bombing in its war against the Yemeni government.

A Saudi diplomat, Abdullah Al-Khalidi, was kidnapped in the port city of Aden on March 28 and several video messages of al-Khalidi were posted by Al-Qaeda in which he appealed to the Saudi authorities to meet the demands of captors through releasing Al-Qaeada prisoners and pay a ransom.
