Suffered a blow, yesterday:
Thirty-four suspected al-Qaeda militants have been killed and 17 arrested by security forces, the Yemeni defence ministry said.
The militants had allegedly been planning multiple suicide attacks, with eight of them preparing explosive vests, Reuters news agency reported.
The operations were carried out in Abyan province in the south and in Arhab, north of the capital Sanaa.
The resurgence of al-Qaeda in Yemen has raised concern in the region.
Officials have indicated that the operations were considered a major success against al-Qaeda.
Reminds me of the old joke that asks “what do you call a hundred lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?”
A good start.
So, I wonder how fast the revolving door will hit those 17 on the rear…
“what do you call a hundred lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?”
Not even close to a good start.
Money well spent? The start of a good trend?
We could hope it’s the start of a good trend.
Suffered a blow…
Suffer being the operative word. Suffer – long and hard, with much pain.
