Al Qaeda attacks Al Baidha province in Yemen
2014-07-20
Following a lull in terror activists since President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi declared war on all Al Qaeda elements back in late April, it seems that the terror group has managed somehow to gather some of its strength back as militants have returned to the offensive over the past week. While terror operatives’ reach is clearly limited to small attacks, any challenge to Yemen’ sovereignty is one too many have said officials.

Local officials in Al Baidha province (central Yemen) have confirmed on Thursday that late on Wednesday alleged armed men linked to Al Qaeda assaulted a military outpost. As terror operatives clashes with anti-riot forces, two policemen were killed.

A local government official was quoted by AFP as saying, “The assailants on board two vehicles fired machineguns at the camp in the town of Rada late on Wednesday …Two policemen were killed and a third was wounded.”

It is not yet clear how many casualties terror militants suffered by the hands of police.

This attack comes two days after two policemen were kidnapped by Al Qaeda militants. Officials refused to comment on whether or not both incidents are linked.
