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).
Al Qaeda killed at least 33 people on Monday during an attack on a city in central Yemen.
The terrorists seized a central Yemeni city as they’ve launched an offensive against the Shi’ite Muslim Houthis that are in control of the Yemeni capital. The country is considered a prize for the terrorist group because it shares a border with Saudi Arabia.
Al Qaeda marched into al-Odayn, a city of 200,000, and raised their flag over the city’s local government offices. Witnesses say the invasion took only a few minutes and that local officials gave no resistance to the terrorist group.
“They came in at midday, invaded the town, chanting Allahu Akbar (God is Greater) and seized the government compound unopposed,” the witness said.
The Houthi forces have used the capital as a base to spread out across the nation in an attempt to drive the terrorists out of the city.
