Foreign-backed mercenaries abduct prominent sheikh in Shabwah
2024-09-01
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] Gunmen of the UAE-funded ''Al-Amaliqa'' factions kidnapped on Saturday one of the most prominent religious sheikhs in the Bayhan district of Shabwah province, which is under the control of the factions.

The sources added that the faction leaders accused Sheikh Jabr of teaching people magic in order to enchant one of the Salafist sheikhs loyal to them called ''Waddah al-Mathah.
Local sources in the district said, ''Armed men on board six military vehicles belonging to the al-Amaliqa factions stormed the house of Sheikh Abdulqadir Ateq Jabr and kidnapped him from his family after surrounding his house.'' Sheikh Khabar was threatened with death and forced to write his last will to his sons, with weapons over his head.

The sources added that the faction leaders accused Sheikh Jabr of teaching people magic in order to enchant one of the Salafist sheikhs loyal to them called ''Waddah al-Mathah.''

Some local notables in Bayhan intervened and pressed on the al-Amaliqa leaders to release Sheikh Jabr, according to the sources.
