GPC Exploits Oil Attacks for Political Gain
Talking about corruption prompted the terrorist attacks, not the corruption itself:
al-Motamar: An official source in the General People’s Congress (GPC) warned leaderships of the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) against resorting to practicing acts violating the law, whose consequences will be against the homeland and the democratic process. The source made linking between speeches of the JMP’s candidate Faisal Bin Shamlan on oil and his instigating of the citizens in his electoral festivals held in Hadramout, Marib, Shabwa and the terrorist operations that targeted oil and gas installations in Marib and Hadramout. The source also conveyed the GPC condemnation of those terrorist acts and the party’s demand from security authorities for quick investigation into background and complications of those criminal acts and the sides behind them and to arrest the perpetrators and send them to public court so that all the Yemeni people will know the directing and acting sides of such terrorist acts aimed at all the people and trey to defame our homeland and offend it.
The source said the information address of the JMP in its parties’ press and the speeches of its candidate in the electoral festivals have set oil wealth a main target of the JMP electoral campaign as if those parties do not realize that the wealth is the property of the entire people and there is no space for critics and outbiders from the JMP leaderships to obtain any illegal gains whatever were the ways of extortion or pressure. The source also expressed regret for the JMP’s practices through the process of intentional deformation of Bin Shamlan picture and attributes that to the GPC. He said those practices are considered the beginning of the parties of the JMP defeat especially that the ones who committed those acts have been identified
Saudi Arabia, running low on exiles, calls:
Sana’a Sept. 15 (BNA) Saudi Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz condemned today the two terrorist attacks that targeted oil establishments in Hadhramout and Maareb during a telephone conversation with Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The president thanked Prince Sultan for his stance as he praised their countries’ strong bilateral ties. Yemeni security authorities foiled earlier this morning two attacks targeting a port for exporting oil in Hadhramout and an oil refinery and a gas production unit in Maareb.
AM: Interior Minister Dr Rashad Al-Alimi added in an ongoing press conference added that members of the cell were caught this morning in the city of Sana’a and they have relationship with the two terrorist attacks aimed at oil installations in Hadramout and Marib.
The minister has made it clear that the security members seized a large quantity of explosives and weapons that were in possession of the cell.
Al-Alimi did not rule out the existence of relationship between fomenting address of the opposition and the terrorist acts. He emphasized that the forces of terror will not be able to affect the progress of the elections.
But Saleh calling the opposition apostates, seperatists, totalitarians and Tartars had nothing to do with it.
