Arabia
Qaida Vows Fierce Attacks on Yemen Shiite Militiamen
2014-11-22
[AnNahar] The Al-Qaeda military chief in Yemen has vowed to launch fierce attacks against Shiite Huthi forces of Evil sweeping across the country, in an audio message posted Friday on jihadist websites.

"To the Huthis we say: brace yourselves for horrors that will make the hair of children turn white," said Qassem al-Rimi, the military chief of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000...

AQAP, which is considered by Washington as the most dangerous arm of the jihadist organization, said several attacks targeting Huthis and claimed by the group were only a "warm-up".

"Today you are our target... and don't even think that your crimes will go unpunished," added Rimi.

Houthis overran the capital in September and then began taking territory east and south towards areas where the Sunni Al-Qaeda bully boyz are active.

AQAP has already threatened an "all out war" against the Huthis and claimed several deadly attacks on them, including one in October in Sanaa that killed 50 people.

Earlier this month, AQAP leader Nasser al-Wuhayshi accused the Huthis of collaborating with the United States and Iran to destroy Sunni Moslems.
