The regime of Ali Abdullah Saleh has the tendency to call nearly everyone it arrests “terrorists” (Houthis, journalists, southerners, activists and now pirates) as an offset to its laid back counter terror policies and laws. The following is from the official Yemeni news agency, SABA:

Anti-Terror unit carries out military operation

SANA’A, Nov. 05 (Saba)- Special Forces’ Anti-Terror Unit carried out on Wednesday ” al-Bahr al-Haej” operation or the angry sea operation in the Southern Military Zone.

The operation the anti-terror unit carried out with participation of military and security units, was designed for freeing a ship from the seize of armed group of terrorist pirates via hit- and -run attack against terrorists and freeing the ship and hostages in it.

The forces have carried out the operation successfully and strongly, embodying the great responsibility the military forces carry on shoulders for protecting security and stability across the homeland.
