| [HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons have on Monday attacked a number of Sufi shrines in the Mudiyah district of 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 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... province, southern 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... Local sources in the province reported that al-Qaeda forces placed explosives under the tombs of Sufi scholars Ali bin Hilal and Ubaid bin Ahmed in al-Madara area, and demolished the graves under pretext of them being used for "heresy". The destruction of shrines in the Mudiyah district is seen by some experts as a declaration of control over the area, after they attacked a number of security forces in March. In December 2021, bad boy elements of the mercenary unit known as the al-Amaliqa Brigades had already destroyed a tomb and even attacked the historical al-Balkhi Mosque in Hays district of Hodeidah province. |
