Surely this too has nothing to do with Islam (see previous post). "Al-Qaeda claims car bomb attack on Yemen police compound, from M&C, July 27:
Sana'a, Yemen - An al-Qaeda wing in Yemen on Sunday claimed responsibility for Friday's suicide car bomb attack on a police compound that killed a policeman and wounded 18 others.As if jihadists ever need to rationalize or "justify" their attacks -- it's simply jihad in the path of Allah against infidels, apostates, and idolaters everywhere.The group, known as 'The Jihad of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - Yemeni Soldiers Brigade,' said in a statement that the attack was carried out in retaliation for the killing of five al-Qaeda members by police forces in Yemen.
The statement, posted on Islamic web sites often used by al-Qaeda, identified the suicide attacker as Ahmad bin Saeed al-Mashjari, alias Abu-Dijana al-Hadhrami.Not to mention OBL has strong tribal ties in Hadhramout -- which, in Arabic, somewhat appropriately means "Death's presence."The attacker rammed an explosive-laden sedan car into the entrance of a police complex in Sayoun of the Hadhramout province, some 900 kilometres south-east of the capital Sana'a.
He drove at high speed and tried to force his way into the compound's central yard. The car blew up after a police guard tried to stop it.
On Saturday, Hadhramout Governor Ahmed Salem al-Khanbashi said evidence gathered by police had indicated al-Qaeda was involved in the attack.
'The same scenario and materials used in previous al-Qaeda attacks were used in this attack,' the governor said.Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for three recent car bomb attacks in Yemen, including the July 2007 one on a tourist convoy in the central province of Marib that killed eight Spanish tourists.
In September 2006, two al-Qaeda suicide attackers blew up an explosives-laden pickup in the Safer oil refinery in the neighbouring province of Marib. A simultaneous bombing hit an oil exporting port in Hadhramout, killing a security guard and two suicide attackers.
Hadhramout was the scene of a shooting attack on a convoy of Belgian tourists that left two Belgian women and two Yemeni drivers dead on January 18. Al-Qaeda also claimed responsibility for those attacks.
Another "heretofore little-known" group, I'm sure.
Let's abbreviate their name to Jihad of Al Qaeda's Arabian Soldiers- or JAQAS for short.
or, bloodthirsty, murdering, cowardly, barbarians using a seventh century cult as cover for their rabid behavior.
wtf do Europeans see in visiting islamic countries esp yemen! l dont feel sorry for their stupidty, but do feel bad at how it cost them their lives.
Islam attacks the weak women, children and kidnapes and rapes young infidel women. After 7 years since 9/11 nothing has changed. We know even before 9/11 terrorist were hijacking and killing non Muslims. Our leader have failed us and have instead appeased and catered to Muslims. They have endangered our lives at the expense of Muslim appeasement and giving billion upon billions of dollars in aid to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan. What for? They have failed with all the talks of agreements to fight terrorism. Here we still see ordinary non Muslims the weak and helpless being slaughtered. With all the superior firepower and still nothing can be seen from our respective democratic countries. Nothing. While the Muslims keep bombing and having a free run with the religion of peace and our politicians, religious heads, academician all saying it is a religion of peace and only a handful of militants. Then why are they not able to capture these handful of Militants. Why are the Muslims not help capture these handful of Militants. The truth is that there are not a handful but a billionful. Their mission to create a Islamic Empire again and do it either and together with the stealth Jihad and violent Jihad. Look for more and more infidels being killed. Nothing like this has been ever witnessed in the course of human history. The Arab/Islamic Imperialism has to be stopped now and we have the means to do it unlike in the past.
New attack - but it's the same old Islam driving the insanity.
Islam be gone!
Yes, I have to agree with Zena. I feel for the loss of life in the Yemen, but any sane infidel should really no better not to venture into the "snakepit" of islam.
What a shame that (otherwise beautiful and culturally significant) countries should be so intrinsically violent - all for ONE single root cause.
No, I will never travel to Yemen, SA, UAE, Dubai, et al, in my lifetime. I have been to Turkey, and loved every minute of it. But that was nearly 20 years ago.
Things change.
P.S. Howdy, Champ! Missed ya round here the last couple months. Did you take a sabbatical to cleanse your mind and soul of this crap?
Hey, Boneshack! Last 5 weeks have been really busy for me; between throwing my daughter a Baby Shower, my Son's wedding, selling our home and then moving into our new place (same city), and then a week in Mexico doing a House Build with our church. What I need is a sabbatical from my own LIFE, as I'm exhausted from all the moving, etc. LOL! Thanks for thinking of me! See ya around, my friend.
Champ,
Good to see you back! Plenty of trolls to confront. Ah, like the good ol' days with that idiot 'Thesarcen'. LOL!
Duh!
I'll go stand in the corner for an hour.
Islam: the first refuge of weak minds.
Yemen must be the the most glaring craphole of the greater Middle East craphole. Its people are ugly, and it appears to have no national product. Except hate.
Bingo
you wrote: "Yemen must be the the most glaring craphole of the greater Middle East craphole. Its people are ugly, and it appears to have no national product. Except hate."
You forgot qat, or khat: the *other* major national product of Yemen.
I quote, from my Christian sourcebook, 'Operation World':
"Yemen was once famous for frankincense and myrrh, but now the growing of the narcotic qat has become the mainstay for rural Yemen.
'*Over 80 % {got that? - 80%!! - dda} of the adult population chew it and much of the agricultural land and irrigation water is committed to its cultivation. Nearly 40 % of the national economy {such as it is - dda} is involved in qat.
'The negative effects on productivity, social and family life are immense.'"
Interestingly, the CIA factbook on line is almost completely silent about qat.
