Rights group condemns US drone attacks in Yemen
2012-09-05
[Yemen Post] A Yemeni rights group, Hood, has denounced US drones attacks against Yemeni areas, calling the Yemeni government to respect safety and security of its citizens.

It slammed "silence" of the Yemeni government toward the attacks, accusing it of collision with "crimes committed against Yemenis."

It further called for apologizing for the civisms, compensate them and amend wrong policies that led to such crimes against civilians.

Tribal sources had said that two unmanned drones killed on Sunday 13 civilians in Rada'a town of al-Baidha governorate, affirming that three other civilians were seriously maimed and that they were taken to hospital.

They spelt out that t he drones raided two vehicles, pointing out that two women were killed.

Al-Qaeda chief in Rada'a, Abdul-Rauf al-Dhahab was not existed inside the vehicles, the sources added.

According to the sources, three US drones flew over Walad Rabia area located in Rada, singling out that they raised fears among population.

Local sources cited that tribal leaders and figures held a meeting to discuss strikes launched against their areas.

Many Al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons including big shots have been targeted by US drones in Yemeni southern and southeastern regions in the past months. However,

US drones some times miss its target and kill civilians, tribal sources say.

Earlier this year, a group of faceless myrmidons occupied Rada and declared it as an Islamic emirate and they left later after tribal mediations managed to release Al-Qaeda prisoners.

#1  OK. I'm starting to get this "rights groups" thing.

It's kinda like here with Kaliphornia Ballot Initiative process -- you call your organization a name which supports the very thing you are against.
