The
Yemeni army has foiled an Al-Qaeda attempt to take control on Attaq,
the capital of Shabwa governorate, after the army imposed a siege on
Al-Qaeda militants in the neighboring governorate of Abyan, security
sources affirmed on Monday.
Chief of Attaq district, Abdullah Al-Sumnah, reiterated that security sources in collaboration with local tribesmen could strongly foiled an Al-Qeeda's plot.
He affirmed that Al-Qaeda operatives were planning to attack security checkpoints or infiltrating to the town through byways, asserting that tight security measures were taken to confront any Al-Qaeda potential raids.
He pointed out that officials of the governorate coordinate with tribal leaders and dignitaries of the areas surrounding the district to fight Al-Qeda and thwart its plans.
Meanwhile, local sources in Abyan revealed that sharp disagreements emerged between the Republican Guard brigades positioned in Abyan and the governor of Abyan Jamal Al-Aqel regarding the Popular Resistance Committees that backed the army in fighting Al-Qaeda.
Fears have been raised by the Republican Guard that these committees will untimely turn to militias that will demand to separate South Yemen from the north.
The local sources said that forces of the Republican Guard led by son of the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh demanded to demobilize members of the Popular Resistance Committees and hand over the positions retaken again from Al-Qaeda to the Republican Guard.
Meanwhile, a car bomb exploded, killing four tribesmen and wounding another of what is called the Popular Resistance Committees formed of tribesmen to back the army, the Defense Ministry said. Military sources said six jihadists died in clashes with troops, elsewhere in Abyan.
