| [FOXNEWS] 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.... 's growing faction 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... grabbed credit for deadly attacks in two major cities Tuesday that left at least 22 people dead, according to reports. Suicide boom-mobileings targeting exiled Yemeni officials and the Saudi and Emirati troops backing their efforts to retake the country killed at least 15 people Tuesday in the port city of Aden, authorities said. The new Islamic State affiliate grabbed credit for the assault, which officials earlier blamed on Yemen's Iranian catspaws, known as Houthis. In the country's capital, Sanaa, a bomb went kaboom!near a mosque, killing seven people and wounding three, Yemen's Houthi-controlled state news agency reported. The Islamic State grabbed credit for that attack, according to Rooters. The early morning attack in Aden took place at the Al Qasr Hotel & Resort, a large compound that Yemeni officials use as a headquarters. A blast struck the front of the 239-room hotel along the Arabian Sea, west of the port city's downtown, sending thick black smoke rising over it for hours as sirens wailed. Rajeh Badi, a front man for Yemen's exiled government, said all government ministers and the prime minister were safe and unhurt. Two other attacks followed on locations used by troops from the United Arab Emirates, which has the most overt presence among coalition forces inside Yemen. Those assaults hit the palace of Sheikh Fareed Al Awlaqi, which Emirati troops and the Emirati Red Islamic Thingy had been using, as well as a nearby coalition military camp, the state-owned The National newspaper of Abu Dhabi reported. |
