Yemen: Victims of ISIS
2015-03-23
Last Friday, terrorists who claimed to be affiliated with the Islamic State (ISIS) targeted two mosques affiliated with the Shiite Houthi rebel movement which has taken over the capital of Yemen, Sanaa.

The attacks, carried out by suicide bombers during the rush for Friday prayers, killed 137 people and injured 345 others, according to Al-Jazeera.

...One of the mosques targeted was the Al-Hashoush Mosque. According to video footage posted to the internet and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the worshippers at the mosque were cursing Jews and wishing death upon Israel just as the suicide bomber detonated his explosive device.

Arutz Sheva chose not to present the video here due to its graphic nature.

The preacher is shown saying in the video, "Our belief in Allah will increase after today. We will triumph over their deceit and their arrogance. Allah is with us..."

The worshippers respond by chanting, "Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse upon the Jews. Victory to Islam. Allah Akbar. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse upon the Jews. Victory to..."

An arrow on-screen then points to a man walking through the crowd, a bomb goes off and worshippers cry out.

#6  CNN this AM was claiming that the ISIS claims to the suicide mosque bombings shows the ISIS has now set up a new presence in YEMEN.

In addition to Yemen ...

Afghanistan.

* BIGNEWSNETWORK > GHANI: PAKISTAN DRIVING NEW GLOBAL TERROR NETWORKS INTO AFGHANISTAN.

* Also from TOPIX > [BreitBart] ISIS RECRUITING - LONE WORLD JIHADISTS IN BRAZIL.

ZOOOOMG, THE HARD BOYZ ARE TRYING TO RECRUIT OWG BRIC GIRL PAULA!

Fear notteth, PAULA, Great-Auntie Christina = Argentina will come to your rescue.

* JAPAN TIMES > FEAR OF ISIS DRIVES SHIITE AFGHANS [Hazaras] TO SEEK [rival] TALIBAN AID.

Where Shias go, Obama BFF + OWG Co-Superpower Rising Iran will eventually follow.

VERSUS

* BLOOMBERG, VARIOUS > SAUDIS [+ GCC States? Other Muslim?] WILL TAKE "NECESSARY MEASURES" IN YEMEN IFF TALKS FAIL, to defend agz Houthi = Shia = Iran-led "aggression".

Again, iff a KSA + GCC mil coalition can't do it, they may ask for AL-QAEDA + ISIS intervention, one or both, agz the Houthis + Iran. There is also the risk of Pakistan nuclear intervention on the side of the KSA + GCC + Yemeni Govt.

#3  Sounds like a job for "Two-state Jawn F'n Kerry". Let the Houthis have one half and the AQ contingent the other half.

Everything should be hunky dory then, right?
