FM calls al-Qaeda to renounces violence
2012-09-02
[Yemen Post] Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi has said that the Yemeni government will talk to al-Qaeda if it renounced violence and abandon terrorist acts.

In an interview with Sky News, al-Qirbi said that the Yemeni government has not unmanned drones and it takes support from the United States' drones in combating terrorists.

He indicated that the Yemeni army could defeat al-Qaeda in some towns 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 Emirate after 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...

He affirmed that President Abdurabu Mansour Hadi

and the interim government will continue the battle against al-Qaeda Islamic fascisti and that the government will deal with them as citizens in case they were persuaded to abandon violence.

After the Yemeni government announced its victory in early June, al-Qaeda carried out a suicide kaboom various governorates and killed the commander of Yemen's southern military region, Salem Qatan.

At least eight Islamic fascisti were killed in an Arclight airstrike in Yemen's Hadramout
...the formerly independent Qu'aiti state and sultanate, annexed by Communist South Yemen in 1968, encompassing a region along the Gulf of Aden, extending eastwards to the borders of the Dhofar region of Oman. The people are called Hadhramis and speak Hadhrami Arabic. The city Tarimis estimated to contain the highest concentration of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI) anywhere in the world, approximately seven in every square yard...
province amid a continuous, massive hunt for Al-Qaeda operatives across the republic, the defense ministry reported on Friday.

On Thursday, a Yemeni intelligence officer, Yahya Badi, was assassinated by an armed man riding a motor cycle in Sana'a.

Yemen's defense ministry claimed that the attacker is a member of al-Qaeda, pointing out that he could escape.

The shooting came the same day a security official said a U.S. drone attack killed at least four suspected Islamist Islamic fascisti in a car in a remote province of eastern Yemen.
