Islam Times - Saudi Arabia is reinforcing the al-Qaeda in the Yemeni province of Abyan, supplying it more arms and providing aid


They received a cache of weapons via Saudi mercenaries stationed in Ma’rib, near the Akad heights in Lodar city of Abyan province as reported by Yemeni activists from the southern parts of the country.
 
After their recent defeats in various cities of Abyan province, they received weapons from forces loyal to General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, the deputy commander of the Armed Forces of fugitive president Mansour Hadi.

The al-Qaeda fights against the Houthi-Saleh alliance in Yemen and operates in the interests of the Saudi coalition after striking a deal last year.

Earlier, several terrorists, including a senior commander Mohsen al-Aoulaqi, were killed in an ambush operation conducted by the Houthi-Saleh alliance in the east of al-Mukha region, located in the province of Ta’iz.
