SANA’A, Aug. 2 — Media sources revealed that Abdulbaset Ali Ahmed Bashaiba, from the Azan district, Shabwa governorate, was killed on Tuesday afternoon, July 25, in a suicide attack carried out in Al-Mousal town, Iraq.
According to news published by Al-Tariq newspaper, “Abdulbaset left the Azan district on Saturday, July 15, heading to Iraq; and on Tuesday afternoon, at about 2.30, he phoned his family telling them that he was going to carry out a suicide attack using a car full of explosives.
On the evening of the same day, a person called and told the family that their son, Abdulbaset, had been killed in a suicide attack.
Abdulbaset, 27, was born in Al-Houta, Shabwa governorate. He is married with no sons.
One of the observers said that “Yemeni security authorities gave directives to all ports to prevent those under 35 from traveling abroad, particularly to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria. So how did this one escape and from which port had he left?”
He added saying “we still question who it might be who stands behind the youth’s transfer to face war hell in Iraq, who finances, trains, and pays for the other costs? Who receives them in Iraq? How does coordination take place? Was the passing away of thousands of Yemeni’s in Afghanistan not enough? Have Yemeni’s not been facing enough problems since 1992, and then September 11- events at the hands of Yemeni and Arab Afghans?”
Some media sources mentioned early this year that there are more than 500 Yemeni youths fighting with the Iraqi resistance. Further, the sources also said that extremist Yemeni parties, supported by influential powers, work on preparing these youths, by training them on fight operations, using explosives and driving cars.
