| [Yemen Post] At least 10 Al-Qaeda Islamic fascisti were killed as the army continued to advance to clear Islamic fascisti from their positions in Zinjibar, the capital of 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 Emirateafter 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... , which was held by Al-Qaeda last year, local sources said. The deaths occurred in the Jaar city south of Zinjibar in the second day of the fiercest battles against the myrmidons, the sources said. On Saturday, the Yemeni army launched expanded operations to retake the towns in Abyan, which were held by Al-Qaeda last year including Zinjibar. About 25.000 troops are participating in the operations. Several soldiers have been reported dead in the two days so far. The forces have waged fierce battles with Al-Qaeda Islamic fascisti in several areas including Doufas where Islamic fascisti raided several military posts in March and this month killing and abducting scores of soldiers and looting military equipment. Many Islamic fascisti have been killed in the battles, military sources said. Popular fighters have helped the forces to fight the Islamic fascisti in the past few weeks. The Yemeni army is also receiving direct support from the US including drone operations which have killed many gun-hung tough guys including big shots wanted by the US authorities. |
