[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Colonel Turki AlMalki, the Official Spokesman of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, stated that the Coalition is waging a war against terrorist groups 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...
such as AQAP, ISIS and the Iranian-Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
militia, which share a common turban ideology.

"The Coalition has and will continue to carry out joint operations with brotherly and friendly nations to dismantle the capabilities of said groups through air, naval and joint special forces operations under the international cooperative efforts to eradicate terrorism and sustain International Security." he said.

"We have followed what AP posted entitled "AP investigation: Yemen war binds US, allies, al-Qaeda". What was stated in this article whether it was stories or conclusions, is unfounded and expressed the personal opinion of the author as there were no tangible evidence nor convincing arguments. The writer should have followed the professional ethics of journalism and fact-checked such information before publication through communicating with the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition, and verifying the Coalition’s efforts in combating terrorism, the Coalition would have provided detailed information in this regard. All channels of communication with members of the media are open," he added.

Col. AlMalki concluded that the Coalition will continue its efforts and operations to combat terrorist groups in Yemen under international efforts to eradicate terrorism all around the world, "and its cooperation with brotherly and friendly nations through intelligence-sharing and Joint operations to combat AQAP, ISIS and the terrorist Iranian-Houthi militia."
