FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Washington, which has pursued a campaign of assassination by drone and missile
against alleged al Qaeda targets in Yemen, wants Hadi to reunify a military
that split between Saleh’s foes and allies last year, and focus it on “counter-terrorism”.
Yemen’s main airport in the capital, Sanaa, was paralysed for a day after Hadi
sacked the air force commander, a relative of Saleh, on Friday, and
pro-Saleh officers responded by blockading the airport with vehicles.
A government official said they backed down only after warnings from the
United States and the Gulf countries which crafted the deal that made Hadi
president.
In the capital Sanaa, a military committee tasked with restructuring the armed
forces oversaw the evacuation of troops and dismantling of some checkpoints
belonging to rival divisions of the military, an official said.
The official, who asked not be named, said checkpoints controlled by the
Republican Guard, led by Saleh’s son, and renegade general Ali Mohsen
al-Ahmar were being dismantled.
Separately, unidentified gunmen attacked a military checkpoint in Aden,
killing two soldiers, a security official said. He gave no further details.
