[Yemen Post] A car boom went kaboom! on Wednesday, killing three Al-Qaeda suspects on a road linking between Lahj and Aden, security sources affirmed.

The sources said that car was blasted before the reach of its target, pointing out that it was plotted by the beturbanned goons to blow up a security checkpoint in Al-Ribat area of Lahj.

Local sources suggested that the kaboom targeted a refuel station in Al-Faioosh area of Lahj.

An kaboom of a car boom hit on Tuesday the port town of Shaqra 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 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...

Yemeni analysts say that Al-Qaeda resorted to use car booms after the great progress made by the Yemeni army against the beturbanned goons in some towns of Abyan.

the Yemeni army foiled an Al-Qaeda attempt to take control on Attaq, the capital of Shabwa governorate, after the army imposed a siege on Al-Qaeda beturbanned goons in the neighboring governorate of Abyan.

Chief of Attaq district, Abdullah Al-Sumnah, said on Tuesday that security sources in collaboration with local rustics could strongly foiled an Al-Qeeda's plot.

Media sources stated on Tuesday about the emergence of sharp disagreements between the Republican Guard brigades positioned in Abyan and the governor of Abyan Jamal Al-Aqel regarding the Popular Resistance Committees that backed the army in fighting Al-Qaeda.

Fears have been raised by the Republican Guard that these committees will untimely turn to militias that will demand to separate South Yemen from the north.
