Yemen: Fightings for Zinjibar continue

12 September 2011

Despite the fact that the Yemeni puppet president Saleh claimed victory over the Mujahideen in the capital of the Islamic Emirate of Abyan, the fightings in Zinjibar continue.

According to the news agency Xinhua, not less than 3 puppet soldiers were killed and another four wounded on Sunday in a mine explosion against a military convoy of the Saleh's regime. The explosion was carried out by the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Abyan.

One of the officers of the Yemeni regime told the news agency that the bomb had detonated on eastern outskirts of the city of Zinjibar, the provincial capital of Abyan, which is currently under siege by combined American, Saudi Arabian and Saleh's troops.

"A landmine exploded when an army convoy was heading to the Amodia area", said the army officer of the 119th tank brigade.

At the same time, the Chinese news agency reports that a source close to Al-Qaeda allegedly said that the Mujahideen had promised to begin a guerrilla warfare which would cover the whole territory of the Islamic Emirate of Abyan.

Meanwhile France-Presse refuted the Saleh's lie about the capture of Zinjibar. According to the agency, units of local puppets control at the moment only the northern and the eastern parts of Zinjibar.

In addition, fierce fightings between the Mujahideen al-Qaeda and puppet soldiers did not abate throughout Sunday in Zinjibar, although the infidelity-enforcement thugs earlier argued that most of the Islamic fighters allegedly fled the city and moved to a nearby Jaar which is controlled by the Mujahideen since March.

According to the officer, puppets are hesitant to enter the city center.
