SANA'A, March 22, 2012- An officer was
kidnapped by suspected Al-Qaeda militants in Yemen's southern province of
Hadhramout.
"Faraj bin Qahtan, an officer in Political
Security division in Al-Mukallah was kidnapped on Wednesday morning, taking him
to unknown place,'' a Security source said.
"A motorcycle belonging to Militants hit
him while he was on his way back home,'' the source added
Ever since AQAP’s declarations that it would
systematically target all government institutions, a new wave of kidnappings,
bomb attacks and threats swept through the southern region, forcing the
government to ramp up its alert level and mobilization of counter-terrorism
resources.
The incident underscores the high level of
lawlessness in this poorest country of the Arabic Peninsula, adding to the
challenges faced by President Abdu Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who took office last
month after a year of massive protests that forced out predecessor President
Ali Abdullah Saleh.
