Al Qaeda claims deadly attack on Yemen defence complex

DUBAI: Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) Friday claimed an attack on a Yemeni defence complex that killed 52 people, in a statement published on the Internet by its media arm.

The defence ministry complex was “stormed and attacked on Thursday... after the mujahideen (holy fighters) proved that it accommodates drone control rooms and American experts,” it said on Twitter.

“As part of a policy to target drone control rooms, the mujahideen have dealt a heavy blow to one” in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, added the statement by the Al-Malahem foundation.



“Such security headquarters in partnership with the Americans in their war on these Muslim people are a justified target wherever they may be,” warned AQAP, classified by the United States as Al Qaeda's deadliest branch.

Fifty-two people were killed on Thursday when a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-packed car into the defence ministry complex in Sanaa and opened the way for an armed assault.
