Regime Arrests Nabi
What? Nabi? The same Nabi the 2003 US SD Patterns of Terrorism report says Yemen reported dead but actually let go, the same Nabi that was pardoned by Saleh and living the life of a peaceful farmer , Nabi the graduate of Judge al-Hittar’s rehabilitation program, Nabi who was reportedly in Sa’ada, with his gang fighting against the Houthis? Now he’s a wanted criminal that they have been chasing for five years? No, he’s not. Did the security snatch him in a bid for US approval? The story is Nabi planned the attacks in the south on the oil pipelines and security installations. Does this mean the non-existent AAIA is part of the YSB, AQY, joined with the southerners or just got cranky one day and started blowing stuff up? The other AAIA leader, Ahmed Haidrah Abubakr, known as Abulashaath, said a few years ago, they only arrest us to use us against their enemies, option number six.
SANAA (AFP) — Yemeni authorities have arrested a leader of the Islamist Jihad movement in the south of the country after a five-year search, a security official said on Saturday.
The arrest came after an exchange of fire between police and supporters of Khaled Abdel Nabi, who had taken refuge in a house in the town of Jaar in the southern province of Abyan, the official said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The operation was part of an offensive against religious extremists responsible for attacks against security forces and oil installations in the south, the official said.
In 2003, Abdel Nabi, a member of the Jihad movement — which has no links to Osama bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda network — launched a series of attacks before going into hiding in the Jabal Hatat mountains.
Five of Abdel Nabi’s supporters were killed in an operation by security forces.
Last Sunday, security forces announced the arrest of 30 suspected Al-Qaeda members, saying they had dismantled an extremist cell, as part of a crackdown on the jihadist network in the eastern part of the country.
On August 12, the ministry of defence announced the death of a local chief and four others belonging to Al-Qaeda after armed clashes that left two policemen dead.
Yemen, ancestral homeland of bin Laden, has been battling suspected Al-Qaeda militants since before the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.
