'US Cluster Bombs Killed 55 in Yemen'

Amnesty International says the United States used cluster bombs on a cruise missile in Yemen, killing 55 people, most of whom were civilians.

The attack, according to the rights group, targeted Al-Maajala in the Abyan province at a time when Washington was pushing hard to project militants in the country.

"Amnesty International is gravely concerned by evidence that cluster munitions appear to have been used in Yemen," said Mike Lewis, the group's arms control researcher, AFP reported.'

Iran-Saudi Arabia Come to Blows Over Yemen

Saudi Arabia has denied being involved in a military offensive against Houthi fighters in Northern Yemen after Iran's president slammed the country over the issue.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out at Saudi Arabia for its violent military offensive against the civilians in northern Yemen.

"Saudi Arabia was expected to mediate in Yemen's internal conflict as an older brother and restore peace to the Muslim states, rather than launching military strike[s] and pounding bombs on Muslim civilians in the north of Yemen," said Ahmadinejad while addressing the people of Ahvaz on Wednesday.

The Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, however, denied any Saudi involvement whatsoever in military attacks against the Yemeni Shia fighters, known as the Houthis.

"I don't know where he (Ahmadinejad) got this accusation ... that the kingdom is waging war on the Houthis," al-Faisal said in Riyadh.'

Defiant Yemen Tells US Soldiers to Keep Out

Yemen insisted yesterday that it could handle its own mounting security challenges without any direct foreign intervention, pointedly warning Washington to learn the lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan.

While welcoming US intelligence and technological co-operation, the Deputy Prime Minister for Defence and Security, Rashad al-Alimi, told a crowded news conference in the capital, Sana'a, that the government did not want foreign troops on its soil.

That message was reinforced by Foreign Minister Abukar al-Qirbi, who told CNN that fighting militants was "the priority and the responsibility of our security forces and the army".'

Detroit Air Attack - Zionist Lies & Future Plans

The failed 'terrorist' attempt on Christmas day 2009 by Omar Farouk Abdul Mutallab on Northwest Airlines from Amsterdam to Detroit was a singular victory for the Zionist/Military Complex which rules the White House and Capitol Hill.

Working in close connection with the Pentagon and the CIA - the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and its intelligence branch, the Mossad, have set their sights on a new Middle East target, the nation of Yemen which borders oil-rich Saudi Arabia.

Yemen is of particular interest to the Zionist/Military Complex as both China, a trading partner with Yemen, and Russia, now exporting weapons to Yemen, are gaining greater influence in the area. (Obama with Nobel Peace Prize in hand, bombed and killed 120 civilians in Yemen on December 16, 2009.)'

False Flag Event in Detroit a Pretext to Invade Yemen

The UK PM Gordon Brown called for an “emergency summit of world leaders last night to stop Yemen becoming a new terror center,” reports The Sun. Brown declares the poverty-stricken country — increasingly described as a “failed state” by government officials and the corporate media (the same way Afghanistan and Iraq were deemed failed states before they were invaded) — represents an “evolving threat” threat and an “incubator” for terrorism.'

Evidence Mounts for US Complicity in Terrorism: Mutallab's Father is No Ordinary 'Banker'

We do know a couple of things. Dad, back in Nigeria, ran the national arms industry (DICON) in partnership with Israel, in particular, the Mossad. He was in daily contact with them. They run everything in Nigeria, from arms production to counter-terrorism. Though Islamic, Muttalab was a close associate of Israel. He has been misrepresented. His "banking" is a cover. Next, what do we know about the two Al Qaeda leaders Bush had released, the ones who planned this?'

Billions in Recent Yememi Investments and The Underwear Bomber’s Daddy. It’s a Small World Ain’t It?

Daddy Warbucks, whose banking ties are under threat of serious set-backs, goes to the State Department and then the CIA and all of a sudden his lonely, college drop-out, populist son, ends up getting on a flight and setting his nuts on fire and the good-old U.S. of A can now come running in to the rescue to save all those precious investments in Yemen that are directly tied to, you guessed it, the underwear bomber’s daddy. A small world, ain’t it?

I hope that clears things up a little bit.

Either that or they just “hate us for our freedom”. Take your pick.'

Yemen: New Frontier in US ‘War on Terror’

The increased violence in Yemen is a clear indication that military campaigns to crush al-Qaeda-inspired violence extend far beyond the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

t also shows up hostile fault-lines within the Middle East, pitting mainly Shia Iran against Sunni Saudi Arabia, who condemn each other for taking sides in Yemen’s long-running civil war.

Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Arab world with almost half its 24 million people living below the poverty line and an authoritarian government that has failed to win the trust of a substantive part of its own population.'

To All Those Who Live Under Conflict Or Fear

It is extremely hard for me to send you all seasonal greetings from England when I know in my heart that this is just another day for you either living under the terror of conflict, torture, rape, breaches of human rights or simply harassment.

It is also hard to know that we here will be receiving presents and eating more food than one could ever imagine and you on the other hand do not have a meal today or what you have you give to your children. Mahatma Ghandi once said:

"There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of Bread" he also said a very inspiring comment for those who live under a cloud of terror or duress: "You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind".

So how does one even attempt to send a greeting to the people of Gaza, West Bank, Iraq, Afghanistan and all those distant lands that have succumbed to the excessive greed of the west? How does one apologise on behalf of United Nations and the international community for not standing up for you in your hour of need?'

At least 120 Houthis have lost lives and 44 others sustained injuries as US fighter jets took part in air strikes in the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa'ada.

"The US air force perpetrated an appalling massacre against citizens in the north of Yemen as it launched air raids on various populated areas, markets, refugee camps and villages along with Saudi warplanes," the northern Yemen-based Houthi Shia fighters said.

They added, "The savage crime committed by the US air force shows the real face of the United States. It cancels out much touted American claims of human rights protection, promotion of freedoms of citizens as well as democracy".'
