| [ALMANAR.LB] The Yemeni army and the Popular Committees foiled an attempt by the Saudi-US aggression to advance towards the Al-Bayda' province in central Yemen. Sources told Al-Manar TV that attacking forces - joined by al-Qaeda ...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 Emirateafter 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 Bayda' provinces. The Yemeni national units thwarted the operation, leaving scores of the enemy elements killed and maimed, after they destroyed two Saudi armored vehicles and seized 6 other Emirati vehicles that were used during the attack on Aden city. In a similar development, a unit of the Yemeni forces managed to directly hit a Saudi fighter tank deployed in al-Khoba site, where the fighters sneaked into the Saudi military post and targeted a tanks assembly point. They also managed to destroy a Saudi tank and to set another armored vehicle ablaze. In Najran border area, Yemeni fighters fired guided missiles on an Abrams tank with 5 Saudi soldiers on board. Their bodies were seen flying through the place. Moreover, three Saudi tanks were targeted and destroyed on the border area with Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... near al-Makhrooq military post. The Yemeni missile unit pounded Saudi military posts in Jizan and Dhahran Assir areas with dozens of rockets. In the meantime, more security achievements were made in Sanaa when security forces raided the house Gen. Ali al-Ahmar and seized a large quantity of weapons and ammunition. |
