DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report that the air strike in eastern Yemen Thursday, Dec. 24, which left more than 30 dead, was in fact a US drone attack which wiped out a large part of al Qaeda’s leadership in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Among them were two high-ranking Yemeni al Qaeda operatives Saud al Qahtani, Mohammed Amir, al Qaeda’s commander in Saudi Arabia, Saad Shahani, and Anwar al Awkali, the American imam who preached to US. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who murdered 13 US military personnel at Ford Hood, Texas last month.

They were all meeting at a hideout in the province of Shabwa, some 650 km east of the capital, Sanaa. Nasser al-Wahishi, al Qaeda’s commander-in-chief in the Arabian peninsula, was there too but escaped harm.

Awkali, who praised Maj. Hasan for killing Americans, was imam of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque attended also by three of the 9/11 hijackers.

l’arabie saoudite vient officiellement de faire la même chose que le Pakistan.... ça valait le coup de parler de Sharjah hier encore !! ah ah ah !

 The report states that the drone attack was carried out “650 km east of the [Yemenite] capital, Sanaa.” If you locate that position on a map, that would place the US drone’s attack not far from the Saudi Arabian border—the general region where Iranian-backed Shiite forces are fighting Saudi Arabian Sunni forces. Saudi Arabia has received assistance from Jordanian special forces in this growing war, and Saudi forces have used tanks and warplanes in this proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The presence of U.S. Air Force drones in this region argues that the USA has joined this war on the side of Saudi Arabia. I’ll bet the U.S. Air Force has conducted other missions in this war region besides the one that killed the imam who helped motivate Major Hasan to murder his fellow U.S. Air Force personnel. This action strongly indicates that the USA has quietly joined this war to help defeat the Iranian-backed forces in Yemen.
