| Al-Qaeda threatens Yemen in video-message |
| 2013-12-22 |
| [Yemen Post] Yemen coalition government, which under the leadership of President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi has intensified and tightened its anti-terror alliance with the United States of America, has been directly threatened with great much retribution in a video-message uploaded onto YouTube this Monday, by a man who introduced himself as a AQAP commander (Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.) It is important to note that while the video has not yet been authenticated by the Yemeni authorities, this message was carried by non-other than al-Malahi, al-Qaeda media arm. A man identified as Qasim al-Raimi warns in the video that al-Qaeda has grown so strong in both men and weapons that it is now in the position to oppose Yemen armed forces on the ground, not just as a terror organization but as a movement whose span and reach can rival with that of the coalition government. And while such a message could be understood as pure bravado, the last song of a dying terror organization, the attack, earlier this month, of the Defence Ministry earlier has proven beyond doubt that terror forces of Evil have managed to infiltrate Yemen's institutions to a much greater extent than first anticipated. Security experts have actually theorized that al-Qaeda had to have gained insiders' knowledge to carry its attack against Yemen Defence Ministry, putting question marks over some politicians and officials' loyalties as well as agendas. "We are able to drive two trucks to every military camp in Yemen. We are able to drive two trucks to every ministry loaded with tons of explosives," said Qasim Al-Raimi. The self-proclaimed al-Qaeda commander continued, "We are still calling on the wise people of the government, if there are wise individuals. We say to them, the government and the army should not get involved in this conflict and should not chase us or give intelligence information to the American drones." |
