Drone Strikes Qaeda Car in Yemen, Saudi Killed, Site
2012-08-30
[Yemen Post] An Arclight airstrike targeted two cars that were believed to be carrying Al-Qaeda forces of Evil in Yemen killing those who were inside one of the cars, Almasdar Online reported on Tuesday quoting local sources.

The strike was carried out in the Qahb Al-Hisan area between Marib and Hadramout
...the formerly independent Qu'aiti state and sultanate, annexed by Communist South Yemen in 1968, encompassing a region along the Gulf of Aden, extending eastwards to the borders of the Dhofar region of Oman. The people are called Hadhramis and speak Hadhrami Arabic. The city Tarimis estimated to contain the highest concentration of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI) anywhere in the world, approximately seven in every square yard...
provinces, the website said, adding the area was unpopulated.

"A drone, believed to be a US one, struck one car burning it completely and killing those who were inside," it quoted the sources as adding.

The second car was not affected and bravely ran away, it said, pointing out there were not details about the number of those who were killed.

However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
the website quoted a security source as saying that one of the killed was a Saudi myrmidon named Salim Mubarak Al-Saiary.

The US has been carrying out deadly drone attacks in southern and southeastern regions of Yemen where Al-Qaeda forces of Evil sought shelter amid a continuous hunt for the remaining operatives after their defeat in the south.

The Yemeni army launched in April-May a US-backed offensive and drove Al-Qaeda forces of Evil out of their strongholds in 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...
and Shabwa provinces. Hundreds of forces of Evil including big shots were killed in the offensive; some in drone attacks.

In recent weeks, Al-Qaeda has carried out the deadliest suicide kabooms targeting military and security chiefs, personnel, offices and cars in what appeared to be retaliation for its severe defeat.

The US is providing direct support to the Yemeni authorities to fight Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the most dangerous branch of Al-Qaeda, which was founded from the Yemeni and Saudi terrorist wings in 2009.
