| Military commander is killed in Hadhramawt |
| 2013-12-02 |
| [Yemen Post] Yemen officials confirmed on Sunday the death of senior military officer, Ahmed al-Marfd, in the south-eastern province of Hadhramawt. "Unknown gunnies fired at Army Commander of the 37th Armored Division, Ahmed al-Marfdy, abruptly ejecting him from the gene pool at the scene in al-Qatn town in Hadhramawt province," AFP quoted a police source as saying on Sunday under cover of anonymity. "The bullets also hit two of the military commander's bodyguards who were later transferred to a local hospital after sustaining severe wounds," the source added. Although no group grabbed credit for the attack, the manner in which al-Marfdy was killed very much resembles al-Qaeda Modus Operandi. Ever since President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi set out to destroy the terror group in 2012, following months of insecurity, Islamic gunnies have used target liquidation as a destabilizing tool against Yemen's military, security and intelligence services, hoping to instil fear. |
