Yemen: Al-Qaeda Seizes Control of Southern Province, Declares it an “Islamic Emirate”…
Their first order of business: Banning women from going outside.
(Business Insider) — Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has declared Yemen’s Abyan province an “Islamic Emirate” and banned women from going outside, according to Eurasia Review and accounts from Yemeni journalists.
AQAP, which has established full control over the southern province, made an online statement Wednesday declaring Abyan an Islamic Emirate governed by Shariah.
The statement said women in the province should not go out except under necessary circumstances, “and she who urgently needs to go out, should be with one of her male relatives, and should have ID with her.”
AQAP’s announcement comes just a few days after jihadists looted an ammunition factory in Ja’ar, a city in Abyan province, killing 150 people in an apparently accidental explosion. Al Qaeda militants have also taken control of local communications facilities in the province.

What I would give to dry shave their faces. God help those woman and children. The prophecy has arrived.
Ah a fresh new hell of oppression. Any word on bobo wanting to save this people too….nah I wouldn’t think so.
“Their first order of business: Banning women from going outside.”
And their second order of business; call Obama for a huge stimulus check. Soros tells him it’s okay and Hillary personally delivers $1B USD in aid (for more weapons).
Here we go! Unfortunately, a lot of good Germans died because of the Nazis. God help the Muslims of Islam!
now that they are taking over countries – why don’t we declare war on those countries and wipe out Al-Qaeda and its supporters in that country!
That will be the ultimate payback for 9/11 – but BHO doesn’t have the balls to do it…
From here AQ has a base of operations against Saudi Arabia…
how long till Kind Saud calls Odumbo for American reinforcements
sorry..King Saud
Code Pink nowhere to be seen.
Are our brain-dead politicians going to wake-up…or are they all spineless, all the while others happy as hell with this as their piggy-banks fill up?
Wake-Up and do something about this you intentionally blind MF’ers! We’ve been doing nothing and when we do- it’s the wrong side of who we should be supporting (even if we can’t stand that person)…lawdy, we are fulfilling the enemies dreams.
Because women are livestock, and livestock uncaged is un-islamic.
Now this has me legitimately worried. They’ve taken over an entire province? Good lord. The situation in the Middle East is getting WAAAY outta hand and needs to be dealt with. Diamond Girl is right, our politicians need to wake the hell up, because this is going to get far far worse in the coming days.
An entire province of the NE sahara desert however provinces it takes doesn’t worry me. Our leader Obuma does.
If the Western (and Eastern) World had brains and balls they’d sign up with the Pope to declare a Crusade.
The Arab Spring is becoming the Al Qaeda Spring.
Predictable.
Yemen. Isn’t that where all those pirates that we somehow don’t seem to be able to do anything about come from?
As Glenn Beck says ” this is not going to end well “
i can see big randsomes coming up for the shipping industies .
Their first order of business: Banning women from going outside.
Can they set an Islamic state in California or New York
. I’m tired of seeing leftist women without the burka.
no its not close to being true
1) If anyone has control over the southern provinces, its the southern independence movement established in 2007 which is calling for a referendum on unity. Led by liberal military leaders forcibly retired after 1994′s civil war, the southern movement brought hundreds of thousands to the streets weekly. Hundreds were killed during protests and thousands arrested. They are not protesting now.
2) The Saleh regime pulled back its military and security forces throughout the country and distributed weapons to proxies.
3) The “al-Qaeda” in this case are long time state-jihaddists Khaledabdul Nabi and Sami Dhayan, basically mercenaries. Nabi organized and led jihaddists into battle on behalf of the Saleh regime during the Saada Wars (2004-2010)
4) The AQAP did not make a statement. Nabi’s group said something on the radio about an Islamic Emirate after the station was abandoned by the state.
5) The horrible explosion that killed 150 was remotely detonated once the villagers entered the building, Yemenis claim.
6) The residents formed a local security committee which now has control of the area.
7) Yemenis across the nation have accused Saleh of playing the Al Qaeda card to spin the western media and US, a frequent practice. They say that the state fosters and deploys al Qaeda mercenaries to elicit counter-terror funds, equipment and training, which are then deployed against internal opposition.
I should try to be this coherent on my own site.
RANDOM IN TEXAS ….Nope that would be the Somali Pitates
Note the digital cameras being used by these savages and the modern firearms being used by the savages. All invented and perfected by the Western Civilization that they so dispise. If it wasn’t for the fact that a large amount of oil exists under the soil in these shit bag muslim areas of the world these savages would still be humping camels and living to the ripe old age of 50. They have absolutely no value as humans. None.
Islam is a blight upon humanity and must be utterly destroyed. Nuke Mecca.
The practice of relying on the conservative tribes and jihadists has also blown back on the Yemeni regime and, as in Pakistan, there are jihadist sympathizers within the Yemeni security apparatus.
Because of this dynamic, efforts to locate and root out AQAP elements have been very complicated and limited.
The Yemeni tribes practice a very conservative form of Islam, and their tribal traditions are in many ways similar to the Pashtunwali code in Pakistan.
According to this tradition, any guest of the tribe — such as an al Qaeda militant — is vigorously protected once welcomed.
They will also protect “sons of the tribe,” such as American-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, a member of the powerful Awlak tribe (the Yemeni prime minister is the uncle of al-Awlaki’s father).
The AQAP leadership has further exploited this tribal tradition by shrewdly marrying into many of the powerful tribes in order to solidify the mantle of protection they provide.

@Agent99: OOPS! You are 100% correct. Well, it was early in the morning…
Yemen is one of the other places of troubles down there; Somalia and Yemen are across the Gulf of Aden from each other.
