Al-Qaeda Assaults Yemeni Military Base

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

At least 14 soldiers were killed when al-Qaeda terrorists launched an assault on a military base in southern Yemen. The dawn attack began with a terrorist car bombing followed by fierce fighting between troops and terrorists.

The attack is possibly in response to a US drone attack on Thursday that killed seven terrorists. Security officials reported the terrorists had been meeting at a farm outside of the city of Jaar.

Four of the terrorists involved in the assault were wearing explosive belts that they detonated as part of the first attack wave.

The New York Times reported that the commander of operations and two other senior commanders were part of the 14 soldiers killed in the attack.
