#AceNewReport – Apr.05: The report said the Saudi command center in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden has even instructed the al- #Qaeda warlord in Abyan to secure the entry points for terrorists arriving from Syria and other countries.

Saudi aggressors looking for escape from Yemen quagmire: Minister

Saudi aggressors looking for escape from Yemen quagmire: MinisterThe Yemeni defense minister says Saudi Arabia is looking for a way to get out of the Yemen quagmire.

For the past two weeks, al-Qaeda terrorists have been deployed in vast areas off the coast in Abyan under the command of a high-profile militant identified as Salem al-Shina, with the operations being coordinated with the Salafist Islah Party amd the Saudi command center, the report said.

According to local sources, al-Qaeda terrorists are roaming publicly in the areas of Wadi Hamra, Yahmas, al-Maraqasha and al-Wazi’, and have repeatedly met with senior Saudi military figures at their barracks.

According to al-Akhbar, al-Qaeda terrorists launched a series of attacks last week on the positions of Southern Transitional Council (STC) separatists in order to secure the arrival of fellow militants from Syria.

Over the past few weeks, Ma’rib has been the scene of large-scale operations by the Yemeni troops and allied Popular Committees fighters, who are pushing against Saudi-led mercenaries and militants loyal to Yemen’s former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its other regional allies, launched the devastating war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of Yemen’s former president back to power and crushing the popular Ansarullah movement. 

Yemeni armed forces advance further towards heart of Ma’rib

Yemeni armed forces advance further towards heart of Ma’ribYemen’s army and Popular Committees liberate more areas from Saudi-led forces in the countryside of the west-central Ma’rib Province’s capital.

The Yemeni armed forces and allied Popular Committees have, however, gone from strength to strength against the Saudi-led invaders, and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.

The Saudi-led military aggression, meanwhile, has left more than 200,000 Yemenis dead, and displaced millions of people.

It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases across the country.

SYRIA: ‘ Denies rebels took over Army Airport on border with Jordan ‘

#AceNewsReport – SYRIA:June.13: Syria denied claims by rebels that they took over an army airport in southern Syria along the border with Jordan on Thursday.

A news flash on state television said the army had so far repelled three attacks on the outskirts of the al-Thala airport, Reuters reported. Rebels said they seized the airbase in a renewed offensive.

The loss of the airport would compound setbacks for Damascus in the area after losing a nearby military base this week.

They also recently denied that a military plane had crashed in southern Syria, according to state television. Rebels said earlier they had shot down a Russian-made MIG jet, Reuters reported. The released video featured what appeared to be a burnt-out plane.

It was shown near the site of fighting around a military airport that rebels have been trying to gain control of since Wednesday.

LIBYA: ‘ Al-Qaeda Battling Islamic State after one of their leaders are Killed ‘

#AceNewsReport – LIBYA:Post Update:June.10: Al-Qaeda-linked militants are battling an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) affiliate in eastern Libya after one of their leaders was shot dead, AP reported.

Nasr Akr, an Al-Qaeda-inspired militant, was assassinated along with his aide in the eastern town of Darna. The Shura Council of Darna’s jihadists announced his killing on Wednesday, blaming it on Islamic State militants.

The killing sparked heavy fighting, leaving at least nine IS militants dead, according to witnesses. The so-called Islamic State seized control of Darna last year.

The IS group began as an Al-Qaeda affiliate, but later fell out with the jihadist network.

SYRIA: ‘ Lebanese Troops Kill 16-Al-Nursa Front Terrorists ‘

#AceNewsReport – SYRIA:June.06: Lebanese servicemen eliminated 16 militants of the al-Nusra Front terrorist group near the border with Syria, a source in Lebanon’s army said Saturday.

“Sixteen Jabhat al-Nusra militants were killed. The artillery of Lebanese army straddled the [al-Nusra] detachment, which tried to break into the al-Uyun gorge in the south-east of Arsal town [near Syrian border],” the source told RIA Novosti.

Arsal was the epicenter of fierce clashes between the Lebanese forces and the Islamic State and the Nusra Front rebel groups in August 2014. The extremists captured some 30 Lebanese servicemen, of whom they have since released eight and executed four.

 After the Lebanese army liberated the town, the terrorists fled to the mountains, organizing rear bases there. They occasionally attack Lebanese villages and the army checkpoints from remote mountainous areas.

#AceWorldNews – TAJIKISTAN:Jan.12:Fundamentalist Islamic movement Salafia has been banned as an extremist organization by the republic of Tajikistan, the prosecutor general’s office told TASS on Monday.

The group opposes introduction into Islam of other religious and philosophical concepts. It joins more than 20 blacklisted parties and communities including Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Tajikistan’s Supreme Court ruled to ban delivery and distribution of literature and other materials propagating Salafite ideas, including restricting access to the movement’s website.

“All those involved in this extremist movement will be criminally prosecuted,” the prosecutor’s office said.

NEW YORK: ‘ MASTERMIND BEHIND BOMBING OF US EMBASSIES DIES DAYS BEFORE TRIAL ‘

#AceWorldNews – NEW YORK:Jan.03: A Libyan man accused of masterminding the 1998 al-Qaida bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania has died just days before he was due to stand trial in New York for the crimes The Guardian reported.

‘Abu Anas al-Liby ‘ Most Wanted Dies ‘

Abu Anas al-Liby, 50, died on Friday from complications following liver surgery, his wife said.

He had a $5m (£3.3m) bounty on his head and was high on the FBI’s most-wanted list when he was captured by US forces in Tripoli in October 2013.

He and a Saudi businessman Khalid al-Fawwaz were due to stand trial on 12 January over the attacks, in which 244 people were killed and more than 5,000 wounded.

AP reporting said that fifteen years after allegedly helping al-Qaida plot the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Abu Anas al-Libi parked his car on a quiet street in Libya’s capital.

Within moments, soldiers from the U.S. Army’s elite Delta Force forced him at gunpoint into a van and sped away.

They’d fly him to a naval ship in the Mediterranean Sea before finally bringing him to New York to stand trial on charges of helping kill 224 people, including a dozen Americans, and wound more than 4,500.

VIDEO: ‘ REPORTS FROM PESHAWAR WHERE TALIBAN SEIZED MILITARY SCHOOL ‘

#AceSeaNews – Featured Post:PAKISTAN: Dec 16 – In an earlier post we reported on source reports from local media of military school and a 100 plus dead my report from the frontline says it is still going on and confirmed is now 126 Dead latest Reuters report says. 

The Army Public School is located on Warsak Road near Army Housing Colony and a medical school, in turbulent city of Peshawar.

The Pakistani militants have justified their act of cowardice and evil and in a statement to Reuters say they targeted the school because the army targets their families. Its common for Armies to tackle and fight offensives against militants and state enemies. But militants say they attacked the school because in this way, “We want them to feel our pain,” the Taliban said.

Till evening updates, the KP province Minister of Information said that approximately 80-100 unconfirmed dead. Also some students are still hostages to the militants that are inside the building and the Pakistani Army with its tanks and ground troops are busy fighting the militants that are heavily armed.

Is this Islam? Is this what Islam teaches?

Tonight there will be cries in countless homes, where some unfortunate mothers will prepare the funeral services of the very children, they had sent to school after morning breakfast.

I have no more words truly.

My homeland is burning and my heart is once again broken. My stand is with humanity.I say no more religious  fundamentalism, no more.

#AceNewsServices – WASHINGTON:Dec.11 – Al-Qaeda in Yemen has blamed Washington for the death of a US and South African hostage killed in a failed rescue attempt by US forces, Reuters reported.

The US president and his government “could have at least negotiated” the militants’ demands, said Nasser bin Ali al-Ansi, representing the group.

His comments appeared in a video published on Thursday by the SITE Intelligence group, which monitors Islamist militants.“Despite our warning to him not to act foolishly” the US president “chose a military solution, which failed before and failed once again,” al-Ansi said.

American journalist Luke Somers, 33, and South African teacher Pierre Korkie, 56, were shot by the kidnappers during the raid on Saturday in the arid Wadi Abadan district of Shabwa.

‘ Serge Lazarevic, the last French hostage held in Africa ‘

He was released the previous day, following more than three years in captivity in Mali.

The Paris-based businessman, 50, who has dual French and Serbian citizenship, travelled to France from Niamey, the capital of Niger.

David Thomson, a journalist for the French international radio station RFI and a specialist in Islamist groups, told Le Monde it was probable that a ransom had been paid and an exchange of prisoners agreed for the hostage’s release.

Lazarevic was kidnapped by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, in the Malian town of Hombori on November 24, 2011.

Lazarevic, who holds French and Serbian nationality, was kidnapped along with a second Frenchman, Philippe Verdon, whom he was accompanying on a business trip, in northern Mali in November 2011.

A group of armed men burst into their hotel rooms and snatched them, claiming they were working for French intelligence services.

Verdon was found dead in July 2013 having been shot in the head.

PAKISTAN: ‘ AL-QAEDA’S MOST WANTED BOMBER KILLED IN DAWN RAID ‘

#AceNewsServices – PAKISTAN – Dec.06 – A senior al-Qaeda militant, accused of planning to bomb trains in New York and London, has been killed in Pakistan, the country’s military says BBC Asia News reported.

' Adnan el Shukrijumah was killed in a raid in north-western Pakistan, near the Afghan border '

‘ Adnan el Shukrijumah was killed in a raid in north-western Pakistan, near the Afghan border ‘ 

Adnan el Shukrijumah was killed in a raid in north-western Pakistan, near the Afghan border, the military said.

' Adnan el Shukrijumah was killed in a raid in north-western Pakistan, near the Afghan border '

‘ Adnan el Shukrijumah was killed in a raid in north-western Pakistan, near the Afghan border ‘

The FBI describes him as al-Qaeda’s global operations chief, a post once held by the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Shukrijumah was born in Saudi Arabia and lived for several years in the US.

He was named in a US federal indictment as a conspirator in the case against three men accused of plotting suicide bomb attacks on New York’s subway system in 2009.

He is also suspected of having played a role in plotting al-Qaeda attacks in Panama, Norway and the UK.

Wiki History:  

Born in Saudi Arabia, Adnan Gulshair el Shukrijumah (Arabic: عدنان شكري جمعة‎, ʿAdnān Shukrī Jumaʿah) (4 August 1975 – 6 December 2014) was a member of al-Qaeda who grew up in the United States.[1][2]

In March 2003, a provisional arrest warrant was issued calling him a “material witness”, and he was subsequently listed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the Seeking Information – War on Terrorism list,[3] and since then United States Department of State, through the Rewards for Justice Program, has offered a bounty of up to US$5 million for information about his location.[2][4]

Last known to have lived with his family in Miramar, Florida,[5] Shukrijumah is known to have a Guyanese passport but might also use a Saudi,Canadian, or Trinidadian passport.[1][2] Saudi Arabia has repeatedly denied that el Shukrijumah is a Saudi citizen.[6] Now he is considered to be a high-ranking member of Al-Qaeda.[7]

His mother insists that her son has been wrongly accused.[8][9][10] He also goes by the names Abu Arif, and Jafar al-Tayyar, the latter translating to “Jafar the Pilot”.[10]

Media reports surfaced in 6 December 2014 indicating that he was killed in a manhunt operation by Pakistan on in South Waziristan.[11]
