Looting Orchestrated

YT: The Shoura Opposition newspaper reported in its website today that the robbery cases in the coastal city of Aden that accompanied rallies in demonstration of the price hike may have been carried out by ‘foreign elements’ unknown to the residents of Aden.

The demonstration, which the newspaper claims started peacefully, turned violent shortly after a group of unknown men started destroying property and robbing shops in the commercial capital’s most prominent neighborhoods.

Analysts say that such action has been adopted by totalitarian authorities in many developing countries by ordering secret police elements to begin causing panic and violence in a peaceful demonstration in order to disperse it by force and arrest all those who participated.

The Secret Police, even the name is creepy.
