U.S. drone kills more al Qaeda

U.S. drone kills more al Qaeda thumbnail

A U.S. drone killed three suspected al Qaeda militants in east Yemen, a local official said, the third strike within 24 hours as Washington intensifies efforts to eradicate al Qaeda’s Yemeni branch after recent warnings of possible attacks.

The three men were travelling in a vehicle in the province of Hadramout in an area called Ghail Bawazeer, 45 km (28 miles) from the provincial capital Mukalla, when they were targeted by the drone on Thursday night, the official told Reuters.

Residents reported hearing a large explosion and later saw the car destroyed.

Yemen said on Wednesday it had foiled a plot by al Qaeda to seize Mukalla, a port city on the Gulf of Aden, as well as two major oil and gas export terminals.

This announcement came after intelligence on potential attacks by militants prompted Washington to shut missions across the Middle East, and the United States and Britain to evacuate staff from Yemen.

Earlier on Thursday, 14 militants died in two drone strikes in the central Yemeni province of Maarib. At least 28 al Qaeda suspects have been killed by drones in the past two weeks, a marked increase in the frequency of such strikes.

Security in Yemen is of regional and global importance. As the base for al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), considered one of the most aggressive branches of the global militant organization, Yemen shares a long border with Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally and the world’s top oil exporter.

AQAP has carried out attacks in Saudi Arabia and has made several attempts on U.S. targets. In 2009, Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who had been trained by AQAP in Yemen, tried to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner with a bomb in his underpants.

    Sometes they are referred to as militants and sometimes as suspected terrorists. But it doesn’t matter,the world’s greatest terrorist organization doesn’t keep track of who it assasinatesfrom thousands of miles away. And the rest of the world is too scared to hold them accuntable foor their murder and terror.

    The US kills the same people in Yemen it pays 100$/day to do the fighting in Syria.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda
    Even wikipedia states:

    “Many terrorism experts do not believe that the global jihadist movement is driven at every level by al-Qaeda’s leadership. Although bin Laden still held considerable ideological sway over some Muslim extremists before his death, experts argue that al-Qaeda has fragmented over the years into a variety of regional movements that have little connection with one another.”

    I do not believe either in Al Qaida as a powerful centralized organization. The common denominator of all jihadists is the wish to chase out non-islamic foreigners from islamic lands and establish a Caliphate. That’s not terrorism, that’s common sense (in their perspective). These people are an effective force against the forces of the NWO, seated in New York and London, the CFRs, the Economist Fabians, the LSE, the Chatham houses, the big corporations, the FEDs and the zionist think tanks, the media and what further enemies of European civilization in Europe and North-America have you.

    But with every drone hitting Yemenites, the resentment against Saudi-Arabia as the last important US satrap will grow and bring the Saudi’s in ever greater trouble… until finally the Muslim Brotherhood will take over in Riyahd as well. In the end Saudi-Arabia will be divided between Turkey and Iran, the coming local Sunni and Shi’ite hegemons.

    Meanwhile Russia is growing stronger by the day:

    Not to mention China. And the explicit goal of the EU as stated in the constitution is the multipolar world order, not US hegemony.

    At some point the Euro-American population will come to the conclusion that the NWO is not in their best interest and that a non-confrontational alliance of the white people from the North (US-EU-Russia), with common christian heritage makes more sense and is a winning set of cards, that can easily contain a rising China. But for that to achieve, the Lobby needs to go. The alternative for Americans in the long run is the abolishment of the Constitution and finally the NSA-enabled Gulag.

    The US of Terror did not kill any ‘Al-Qaeda’ because you cant kill a made-up enemy. Now they did kill some folks, probably more or less ordinary people who happen to not want the US meddling in there affairs. Or they could have just been plain old innocent bystanders. Either way, the US gets there ‘body count’ and more gist for the global war of terror.

    Secondly, there was no Al-Q ‘plot’ to attack, much less capture anything because non-existent phantom armies offensives are notoriously in-effective. But it sure sounds dramatic. Did Yemen even claim this, or did the US state dept right that up for them to say?

    Likely.

    Yemen is one of the poorest countries on earth, and is a US satrap in a region that is increasingly sick and tired of those. But all the media control and firepower are in the hands of the US and its puppets. A few unruly tribesman in the interior do not constitute ‘al-qaeda’, anymore than people in my country or in Pennsylvania that protest tar-sands and fracking, are ‘eco-terrorists’.

    Meanwhile a bomb shell from the CIA:

    http://rt.com/usa/syria-assad-morell-qaeda-192/

    “Al-Qaeda replacing Assad is the biggest threat to US security – CIA deputy director”

    Somewhere in the zionist Clean Break document from the nineties, written by Richard Perle and the rest of the maffia, it was written that Syria needed to be destabilised. That was before the Iraq fiasco. Nevertheless the document was treated as the ultimate wisdom and lapdog UK volunteered to setup a little uprising in Syria, using Qatar as an Arab speaking temping agency for jihadist mercenaries (info confirmed by former French foreign minister Roland Dumas). Now, 100,000 killed later thanks to David Camoron, the CIA has second thoughts about the operation: Assad’s chemical weapons could end up in the hands of the jihadists:

    “Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell said the prospect of the Syrian government being replaced by al-Qaeda his biggest worry.”

    Well mr Morell, these chemical weapons should be the lesser of your worries. The real worry should be that the uprising you caused, planned and financed will spill over to your Saudi satraps, the last entity not yet affected by the Arab Spring. Expect Turkish tanks to roll into Riyahd via Damascus if your uprising (unsurprisingly supported by Erdogan, Morsi and Qatar) actually succeeds. And expect Turkish Napoleon Erdogan to change his tone towards the West once the Sunni union will be achieved. Turkey no longer will aspiring for EU membership. Instead Kalif Erdogan can let westerners beg on their knees for oil. And he will.
