The attack, during patrol in the province of Aiban in Yemen, put on the South Transition Council (SMN) force vehicle, according to an announcement from Al-Qaeda that is adjacent to the United Arab Emirates and has allied with the internationally recognized government in the war against the Huthi, the northern rebels supported by Iran. STM separatists participate in the so-called unity government. They fight within the limits of the alliance against the Huthi. Five other people were injured in the attack, he clarified to the French Agency an official of the security forces, who was expressed on condition that he was not named. AKAH, born in 2009, when the Yemenite and Saudi arm of Al Qaeda merged, is considered by the US the most dangerous branch of the Sunni extremist network. He was able to benefit from the chaos of the civil war that has been tearing Yemen apart since 2014 between the internationally recognized government, supported by Riyadh, and the Huthi, supported by Tehran, but suffered a series of defeats in recent years, losing lands and fighters. This is the first attack attributed to AKAH after Saad al Awlaki took over its leadership, following the death of Khalid Batarfi’s predecessor.
