english.ALJAZEERA.net: "YEMEN'S AL-QAIDA PROMISES ATTACKS" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""The military wing of al-Qaida in Yemen - the Abu Ali al-Harthi Brigades - has for a year been preparing to carry out a devastating strike," the group warned, according to al-Sahwa. The group also warned of an "impending major strike in America," adding that the attacks on the Cole and the Limburg had been in revenge for the killing of Islamist leaders in Yemen. Yemen has been engaged in a crackdown on suspected members of al-Qaida since the 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States for which bin Ladin's organization was blamed, but its government denies that there is such a thing as a Yemeni branch of Al-Qaida.")

The struggle of good and evil will continue between the Party of Allah and the Party of Satan until the Day of Reckoning. The call to the Truth has never gone unhindered or unopposed. Messengers were killed & tortured, the Mo'min were persecuted, & the Religion made a mockery of, to such an extent that even the Messengers themselves beckoned for the victory to come. But we can look back now & know that Allah's victory did come, after the Mo'min had proven their faith in deeds, actions & intentions. And when they sacrificed all they had. Nothing makes the enemies of Allah more happy than a dormant Muslim, who has given up hope from forbidding the evil & enjoining good. This allows evil to spread unhindered. Our enemies go about demolishing Islam without fear. But Islam came to put a halt to the progression of evil, whatever the circumstances, and it is incumbent upon a Muslim to help another Muslim who is in need and oppressed. And the checking of Fitnah comes about through the Jihad & the Da'wah. Fighting is prescribed for you and you may hate it. And it may be that you hate a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know. 2:216 Among the believers there are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah: of them some have completed their vow through sacrificing their lives, and some others are waiting for it, and have not changed their determination in the least. 33:23 Therefore, do not be fainthearted crying for peace, for you will surely gain the upper hand. Allah is on your side and will never let your deeds be wasted. 47:35")

Yemen justifies 2002 assassinations
Yemen has revealed details that it cooperated with Washington in tracking and killing a suspected Al-Qaeda leader after US satellites picked up the vibrations of the man’s voice, the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat said on Friday.
It quoted Yemeni Vice-President Abed Rabbo Mansur’s comments on a missile attack on November 3, 2002 in which six Yemenis, said to be Al-Qaeda members, including one suspected of masterminding an operation against a US warship and a French oil tanker, were killed. Agents of the US intelligence agency, the CIA, fired the missile by remote control from a Predator pilotless aircraft in east Yemen, destroying the vehicle carrying the six suspects.
Among those killed was Ali Qaed Sunian Al-Harthi, alias Abu Ali. He was suspected of being one of the ringleaders in the attack on October 12, 2000 against the warship USS Cole in the southern Yemen port of Aden in which 17 crew members died.
“This special operation targeted Abu Ali, an Al-Qaeda leader ... who organised the explosion on the French oil tanker and whom we have hunted in vain for six months,” said Mansour. The oil tanker Limburg was rammed by a small boat off the Yemeni coast in October 2002, causing an explosion which killed a Bulgarian seaman.
“That is why we coordinated with the Americans ... who were able to detect and pinpoint Harthi thanks to satellites picking up the vibrations of his voice. We had no choice other than to cooperate with Washington because we don’t have advanced technology, the vice-president added.
