| 'Qaida' Gunmen Kill 4 Yemen Soldiers |
| 2011-10-04 |
| [An Nahar] Gunmen linked to al-Qaeda on Monday killed four soldiers in southern Yemen, a medic said, a day after at least 25 troops died in an air strike by government forces and other gunbattles. Another four soldiers who were maimed in the latest festivities in the city of Zinjibar were in "serious condition," said the medic at a military hospital in Aden. A local official said street shootouts were ongoing in the city, which is partly held by beturbanned goons, mainly in the neighborhood of Bajidar. On Sunday, security officials said that at least 25 soldiers were killed in a "friendly fire" incident and festivities with the Qaeda-linked beturbanned goons. The officials said some of the soldiers were killed in the strike by Yemen's air force in Zinjibar, although this was denied by an unnamed military official cited by state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? Hundreds of Death Eaters from the Qaeda-linked Partisans of Sharia (Islamic law) group overran Zinjibar in May, and it has been the scene of fierce fighting ever since. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, has taken advantage of nearly nine months of sweeping unrest against President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower... to bolster its presence in the restive south and east Yemen, launching regular attacks. |

| #1 These yemeni soldiers were muslims, and so probably terrorists, else they could become terrorists. All muslims are terrorists. So it is good that they have been killed but it is not enough. |
