| SITE: Qaida Claims 'Bomb Attack' on U.S. Embassy in Yemen |
| 2014-11-30 |
| [AnNahar] Al-Qaeda has claimed it detonated two bombs outside the U.S. embassy in Sanaa, killing several guards, a U.S.-based monitoring group said on Saturday. In a message on Twitter, al-Qaeda's media branch said its fighters set off the bombs at an entrance to the embassy on Thursday night, according to SITE Intelligence Group. There has been no announcement by U.S. authorities of any attack, and American officials could not immediately be reached for comment on the claim. The announcement comes three weeks after al-Qaeda said it had tried to assassinate U.S. Ambassador Matthew Tueller with two bombs that were discovered minutes before they were to explode. The devices had been planted outside the house of Yemeni President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi and had been intended to explode when Tueller left after a visit there on September 8, al-Qaeda said. Yemen is a key U.S. ally in the fight against al-Qaeda, allowing Washington to conduct a longstanding drone war against the group on its territory. The United States considers 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... to be the most dangerous arm of the jihadist organization. AQAP was born out of a 2009 merger of its franchises in al-Qaeda founder the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now beyond all cares and woe... 's native 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 the Soddy national face... and his ancestral homeland in Yemen. The group has exploited instability in impoverished Yemen since a 2011 uprising forced 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... to step down. |
