| 2011-08-14 |
| [Yemen Post] Local rustics in Abyan province, fighting with government against myrmidons, are accusing the government of helping al-Qaeda gunnies stay strong by attacking tribal posts and arming the myrmidons. According to tribal sources in Abyan, at least 19 rustics have been killed by government attacks. A senior Yemeni Defense Ministry official denies that the toll is that high, but did not deny that government raids did kill tribal fighters in accidental attacks. Over the last month, tribes have succeeded to retake more than 60 percent of the province from the hands of suspected al-Qaeda beturbanned goons after the government failed to show progress in its fight against the beturbanned goons since May. At least 1600 rustics are fighting al-Qaeda beturbanned goons in the province. More than 15 al-Qaeda gunnies were locked away on Thursday by the rustics as their push to cleanse the province from the beturbanned goons nears the final steps. |
