Yemen: Police arrest 31 suspected terrorists |
2009-04-03 |
![]() The police operation targeted two jihadist groups believed to be operating in the area: Jamaat al-Jihad and The Army of Aden. Last I heard, the Islamic Army of Aden had been subsumed into AQY. I'm guessing Jamaat al-Jihad is another branch of the same organization. Eight policemen were injured in gunfights with militants during the operation, according to the Yemeni authorities. Some independent analysts claim nine policemen were killed during clashes in which heavy weapons and helicopters were deployed to flush the suspected militants out of their hideouts. |
