Are YEMANI Fighters In IRAQ Or Who Are Dying There?

Despite all the confusion of WHO the fighters are in IRAQ, The UNITED STATES OFFICIAL don’t know it all, but here is what WE know for now:

There have been 153 Yemeni fighters killed in Iraq according to media reports released this week.

It’s is thought that there are 1289 Yemeni militants from different jihadist groups in the war-torn country and the report says 550 Yemeni fighters are from Sana’a.

Security sources told local media that a number of Islamic associations and groups that include extremist elements, who returned from Afghanistan, as well as other elements from the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army. The army is thought to have helped provide a cover for Al-Qaeda operations in Yemen last year.

In its latest issue, Al-Tajamu Weekly said that security reports indicate that extremist elements having links with Al-Hikma Association, affiliated with the Yemeni Islah Party in Aden, Abyan and Sana’a, provided money and logistic aids to Al-Qaeda leaders from Yemen and Saudi Arabia to recruit fighters and smuggle them into Iraq.

An Al-Hikma Association official was arrested over his involvement in providing facilitations to get one of his accomplices into Iraq. However, Al-Tajamu Newspaper mentioned that this man was released following intervention by senior security leaders.

The media reports revealed that Al-Qaeda depended on individuals and groups adopting Al-Qaeda’s philosophy to launch its operations, adding that the organization succeeded in selecting and recruiting militants.

Most Al-Qaeda leaders have managed to escape security authorities, according to the reports indicating that most of those arrested by police are young recruits and there is only one Al-Qaeda leader, a Saudi citizen, in detention.

The prominent Al-Qaeda leader, Fahd Al-Saodi, has departed from Yemen, but some news reported he was killed by the U.S. Army in Iraq last December. A U.S. Army statement read that the dangerous Al-Qaeda leaders are leaving Iraq as they felt they are under surveillance and could easily be captured.

Security reports disclosed that most of the Sana’a jihadist elements live in Mosaik district, in the eastern part of the city. This area is home to the group of Jarallah Al-Sa’awani, who assassinated the assistant secretary-general of Yemeni Socialist Party Jarallah Omar.

419 SCAMMERS ON EBAY TOO

Here’s a cautionary tale for all those eBayers among you: if a Nigerian contacts you claiming to have stumped up for a successful auction bid and demands that you ship goods forthwith to Lagos, you’d better jump to it.

Otherwise, you might end up on the Metropolitan Police’s “most wanted fugitives of the week” list, with your name shamefully plastered across the UK press. Our correspondent explains:

Just thought I had to share this one with you – a scammer won an ebay auction and then sent me a fake paypal receipt to try and get me to send the goods to Nigeria; I ignored them, obviously…but now they’ve got the police onto me!

MOTTO
The Metropolitian Police motto is “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.”

Absolutely classic. God alone knows how long the Met have had an office in Australia, but it’s reassuring to know the long arm of UK law extends across the globe in the international fight against eBay scammers.

The shipment address seems real enough, but Mr Ibajesomo doesn’t appear in the University of Lagos’s staff listing and a couple of calls to said institution turned up a blank.

All very mysterious, then, although one thing is certain: the 72-hour deadline has long expired and our man has not yet had his collar felt. Presumably the Met are too busy scouring Western Australia for poison suicide vests of terror to concern themselves with this most serious of matters.
