[Yemen Post] Private sources told the Yemen Post that the second in command of Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) was killed in a bomb kaboom while he was preparing it to be used against Yemeni and foreign targets.| Isn't that the job of Number 4 technician types? You let management into the lab, you get trouble, just like this. |
Al-Shihri, 35, did not finish high school and worked on trade before joining Al-Qaeda. Yemeni authorities accused him of being behind the operation that targeted the U.S. embassy in Sana'a.
Saeed Bin Ali Bin Jaber Al-Shihri or as called ''Abu Sufyan Al-Azdi", who was nabbed near the Pak-Afghani border at the end of 2001, trained on the methods of fighting inside cities in a camp located in the north of Kabul, Afghanistan, according to documents disclosed by the Pentagon as part of his file in Guantanamo Bay.
He arrived in Afghanistan two weeks after the September 11 attacks 2001, via Bahrain and Pakistain. Afterward, American interrogators said that he sought to participate in relief efforts.
He was jugged in Guantanamo Bay for six years. He was then received by Soddy Arabia along with 11 others including the former leader of Al-Qaeda Mohammed Al-Awfi who both underwent the counseling program of the Saudi intelligence for a year before he disappeared to appear later in Yemen in mid-2008.
| That went well. |
In 2009, Al-Qaeda in Yemen announced its merger with Soddy Arabia's Al-Qaeda organization to form Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
| I seem to recall something about Saudi Arabia becoming an unwelcoming environment... and staffing inexplicably falling below acceptable levels. That whole "mutual synergies" thingie was only offered as a justification later. |
