Dozens of Al-Qaeda terrorists deployed to Shabwah province
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] Military sources revealed on Wednesday that dozens of al-Qaeda members have arrived on the outskirts of Shabwah province, southern Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, Yemen News Portal reported.

This coincides with the escalation of the terrorist organization’s public movements in the province.

The sources confirmed that more than 50 al-Qaeda members arrived in the past hours at the outskirts of the Usiylan District, near the eastern border of Ma’rib province.

Al-Qaeda elements have recently been heavily deployed in areas which are under control of Saudi-led coalition’s factions in the southern provinces, like Shabwah, Hadhramaut and 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.

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...
. They have in the past been used both against the forces of the National Salvation Government and against UAE-backed separatists in southern Yemen.
