2014-03-08
May he have found himself in heaven ten minutes before Allah knew he was dead.
[THEPENINSULAQATAR] Al Qaeda Death Eaters rubbed out a man in southeastern Yemen on Thursday for allegedly giving the United States information used to carry out drone strikes against bad boys, witnesses and the SITE monitoring service said.

Residents said the man was found rubbed out on a sandy football pitch in the town of Shahr in 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 is estimated to contain the highest concentration of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI) anywhere in the world, approximately seven in every square yard...
province.

Pictures posted on the Internet showed his body, dressed in Yemeni traditional clothes, hanging by its arms from a bar suspended from a football goal, on which a black al Qaeda flag also hung. A crowd of onlookers stood nearby.

The man was captured a year ago and accused of working for American intelligence and helping to guide drone strikes in 2012 and 2013, notably one on Dec. 25, 2012 that killed five Islamist bad boys, SITE reported.

SITE said he had been killed by al Qaeda's Ansar al-Sharia
...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libya, Tunisia and Yemen, with the Libyan and Tunisian versions currently most active...
group (Partisans of Islamic Law).

In a video titled "An American Spy in the Arabian Peninsula" posted on the Internet, a man identifying himself as Amin Abdullah Mohammed Al Mu'alimi confessed to assisting US intelligence.

He said he had been born in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, but recruited in Sweden, and joined a security training course led by a Saudi intelligence officer.

He said American handlers had told him that some countries wanted to get rid of some people, and asked him to place tracking chips on three men named Ashraf, Majid and Mubarak.

Other black flags were found near Mu'alimi's body with slogans that read "An American Spy in the Arabian Peninsula" and "U.S. drone strikes kill Moslems", witnesses said.
