The Interior Ministry has reported that the
Al-Qaeda terrorist organization has made plans to attack governmental and other
vital institutions in Yemen. The ministry considered these plans to be
desperate reactions to overwhelming defeats suffered in Abyan, when hundreds of
militants were killed and many others injured during army campaigns against
them.
In a press release, the ministry stated that it
had directed security forces in different governorates to take all precautions
and to respond seriously to possible security threats.
A security source who preferred to be unnamed
stated that Yemeni security forces are on alert following the discovery of
three Al-Qaeda plans outlining attacks against government institutions using
car bombs.
“Security
forces are tracking four bomb cars were surely reported to be in Sana’a and
were prepared to attack the defense complex, security forces center and other
targets,” noted the source. According to the source, a group of Al-Qaeda
militants felt they could escape from security forces around Bab Al-Yemen,
which sits close to the defense complex.
In this regard, Taher Haidar reported that
Yemeni security forces foiled a plot targeting Yahya Mohammed Saleh, President
of the Central Security Forces, and Ahmed Ali Saleh during a campaign to plant
trees at a number of schools in Sana’a last week.
