At least 30 people were killed when suspected militants launched simultaneous attacks on military targets in southern Yemen, sources say.

Two car bombs reportedly exploded at a camp in Shabwa province, killing around 20 soldiers and wounding many others.

In a second assault in the area, gunmen also shot 10 soldiers in the town of Maifaa.

The government is battling al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) militants who often target the military.

So....Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Eqypt, Syria -— now Yemen.. Lebanon, Qatar, Jordan, and all those other little Muzzie places are on the waiting list for MB ascension.

I suppose Obama and Kerry will be decrying atrocities committed against these ‘militants’ too.

It is an odd standout that the ONE place where ‘militants’ stood up and tried to overthrow their Muzzie government, this place Obama abandoned with the hush of the most unspeakable taboo. Those ‘militants’, those students and young people in Iran who wanted better.

So Yemenis are killing Yemenis, right?

Doesn’t anyone remember a little ol’ U.S. Navy boat named the USS Cole?

Wasn’t that in a Yemeni harbor?
Wasn’t it Yemenis that sorta kinda in some not rememberd fashion put a hole in the hull of that ship?

Let them shoot each other ... less to attend to, just in case this Muslim In Chief we got thinks he has to use American GI’s to go clean up a Yemeni mess, later.
