SANA'A: Mohamed al-Basha, Yemen' spokesperson in Washington DC, told Bikyamasr.com that the Interior Ministry and the Defense Ministry had paired up in their fight against al-Qaeda as the government seeks to erase the blow military troops ensued on Saturday following a surprise attack. After various conflicted reports, military officials announced that al-Qaeda had slaughtered 90 soldiers and injured dozens. Gruesome accounts of slashed up throats and cut out limbs sent shockwaves through Yemen, as the nation woke up to the harsh reality of terrorism with its threat spreading a black shadow over Yemenis lives. In retaliation to Saturday's debacle and maybe to wash out the blood of its loyal soldiers, newly elected President Abdu Rabbo Mansour Hadi, Yemen's Commander in Chief ordered “the military forces to launch a full scale attack on militant hideouts in Jaar, Zinjibar and Dofes in the southern province of Abyan, shutting down the highway.” Moreover, al-Basha revealed that Yemen's CTU and the Special Forces had been sent in reinforcement to Aden to back Abyan's campaign against Islamic militants. For the first time in decades, the government is preparing itself to fight a terror threat on a grand scale, with military officials saying to be ready “to wipe out the armed militants and avenge their comrades' deaths.” With the military on full alert, Yemen is awaiting its fate, preparing for the “clash of the Titans.” BM ShortURL: http://goo.gl/ddYlR Tags: Al Qaeda, Attack, featured, Full, Scale, Yemen Section: Latest News, Yemen
