Qaeda Plans to Use Garbage Trucks for Suicide Bombings in Yemen, Site
2012-09-02
[Yemen Post] Al-Qaeda plans to use garbage trucks to carry out suicide kabooms in Yemen's port city of Aden, Alettejah website reported on Saturday, quoting a senior security source, coinciding with reports the authorities defused a car boom in 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...
province.

The local security authorities obtained information about the plan and in response they have drawn up a precautionary plan to face terrorist attacks after some snuffies infiltrated into Aden fleeing the continuous operations against them 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...
province, the source was quoted as saying.

The source urged the public to report to the police any suspicious acts in the city and officials to raise awareness among the sweepers that they should report to the police any threats they receive from bad turbans, the website added.

Yemen--and Aden in particular-- has been recently hit by a wave of violence and deadly bad turban attacks including those against intelligence and other public offices.

In response, the authorities have launched a massive hunt for Qaeda operatives arresting a number of them and terrorist cells in main cities including the capital Sanaa in recent weeks.

The massive hunt is continuing in large parts of the country for key Al-Qaeda operatives and the remaining snuffies who fled Abyan and Shabwa after the army drove Al-Qaeda out of its strongholds in the two provinces.
