Saudi Arabia and Al-Qaeda forces launch attack on Abyan tribes
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Saudi-led coalition forces and members of the "Al Qaeda" organization in 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. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. 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...

, launched a major attack Tuesday night with various types of weapons against the people of the Jaishan tribes, Yemeni Press Agency (YPA) reported, citing local sources.

According to the sources, the so-called "joint forces," affiliated with the coalition forces, led by Colonel "Mustafa Mahdi al-Kazmi," commander of the 3rd Presidential Protection Brigade and commander of the coalition forces in the Jaishan district of Abyan, attacked the sons of the Jaishan tribes on the road linking the provinces of Abyan and Bayda and in the mountains of al-Qasha’a, al-Shatbah, and al-Awsaj with medium weapons and mortars.

This comes after the tribes refused to allow terrorist al-Qaeda elements who fled from Bayda to Abyan into their areas in order to avoid the scourge of war and destruction.

According to the sources, the coalition forces carried out reprisals and ethnic liquidation crimes against the innocent in the areas of al-Qasha’a, al-Shatbah, and al-Awsaj, where a suffocating siege was imposed on homes and farms inhabited by women and kiddies, followed by brutal shelling with machine guns and mortar shells indiscriminately, resulting in the demolition of homes, the burning of some of them, and the unjust killing of innocent people under the pretext that the Jaishan tribes were loyal to the Sana’a forces.

The sources said that the sounds of shelling and festivities shook the Jaishan district heavily after the Islah Party (Brotherhood) militia strengthened its military campaign against what it called "pro-Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
