The Talabanization of Yemen may have reached a tipping point.
Update: Maybe. Knives not guns?

Yemeni extremists in Taiz governorate attacked motels scattered over Saber Mountain. YemenOnline Feb 22 – A group of masked Yemeni religious extremists with knives and torches attacked small motels scattering over Saber Mountain, and started stabbing inhabitants and setting fire all over the places. While the attackers managed to escape, they left behind some serious injuries and burnt-down places.

It is clear that a wave of religious extremism has spread among young people in Taiz governorate, and that a number of religious parties took advantage of the recent events in Gaza Strip in particular, to serve their political objectives.

Update: One person was seriously injured and 13 other wounded. The location is a resort, not actually a hotel, a casino type resturant. There were about 20 attackers. Several other tourist areas were previously attacked.

Scenes of bloody terrible, almost a form of Legends of Hollywood .. متطرفون ملثمون يحملون السكاكين بيد، ومشاعل النيران بيد أخرى، ويغزون استراحات سياحية بجبل صبر بتعز مكبرين باسم الله.. Extremists, however, masked men wielding knives, flares and fire, however, and tourist bars invade Mount Ptaz binoculars patience in God’s name .. يثبون على الناس، وبعد كل صيحة “الله أكبر” يغرسون سكاكينهم في الرؤوس، والصدور، وأي جزء من أجساد مَن ظفروا بهم.. Ithbon on people, after all the cry of “Allahu Akbar” Egrson knives in the head, and chests, and any part of the body of them won .. ويضرمون النيران في كل مكان منها.. And setting fire to each place
