| [AnNahar] A Saudi and a Kuwaiti are among four suspected al-Qaeda members killed by an American drone strike in southeastern Yemen, a local official said on Friday. The dawn strike targeted their car as it left the base of the 27th Mechanized Brigade in the Hadramawt lovely provincial capital Mukalla, the official told Agence La Belle France Presse. Fighters from the Sunni krazed killer group seized the camp from forces loyal to President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi in April, consolidating their grip on Mukalla. They have exploited months of fighting between Hadi loyalists and Iran-backed Shiite Houthis to consolidate their grip on Yemen's southeast. The official identified the victims as Shuaib al-Maliki of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the Kuwaiti Abdul Aziz al-Otaibi, along with two Yemenis. Their deaths bring to 13 the number of suspected al-Qaeda snuffies killed by similar strikes in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... over the past 10 days, and follows the death of the second-in-command of al-Qaeda's global network. The group confirmed on June 16 the killing by an American drone strike of Nasir al-Wuhayshi, who headed al-Qaeda's Yemen branch. Washington regards that branch, known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... (AQAP), as its most dangerous and has kept up a drone war despite the pullout of US troops from Yemen in March as the country's war worsened. The U.S. still has drones and other aircraft at bases in Saudi Arabia and Djibouti. Since the war in Yemen worsened in March and a Saudi-led coalition began bombing the Shiite Houthis, jihadists from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... Sunni krazed killer group have also taken advantage of the chaos. They have claimed a series of attacks including a boom-mobile in Yemen's capital Sanaa which killed at least 28 people on Monday. |
