Drone Saga in Yemen: US or Iranian
Yesterday it was Iranian drone. Today its a US drone.
Mar 29 ,2007 – A senior Yemeni official affirmed to Alayam Paper Thursday that the drone shot down In Hadromout province was an American unmanned plane.
He said that fishermen in Hadrmout reported to a close military unit that they found the drone, and then the unit moved to the site.
On the other hand, the Defence Ministry declined to comment on the incident or affirm the nationality of the drone, whether an American, a French or an Iranian.
Woops, back to being Iranian. Also Iranian spies to go with the drone:
CAIRO [MENL] — Iran has been conducting reconnaissance missions in Yemen.
Yemeni sources said the Iranian military has been conducting reconnaissance missions on military and strategic targets. They said Teheran also employed Shi’ite operatives to spy in Yemen.
“It’s not clear why Iran would conduct reconnaissance missions on Yemen when the two have friendly relations,” a Yemeni source said. “It could be Iranian fear that Yemen has been harboring U.S. forces that could be used in an attack on Teheran.”
On Wednesday, Yemen reported that the military shot down an Iranian unmanned aerial vehicle. Officials said the Iranian UAV flew over the Arabian Sea and conducted reconnaissance missions deep in southeastern Yemen.
