Sources: US, Israel Attempting to Unite Takfiri Streams in Yemen

“Severe differences and unrests aomng the aggressive Takfiri ISIL and al-Qaeda hired mercenaries have made several commanders to defect from the Saudi coalition and declare formation of a small country for themselves in the Southern parts of Yemen,” the sources told FNA on Saturday.

“This has made the US and Israel appoint Saudi General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar as Deputy Commander of pro-Hadi armed forces to improve relations among the Takfiri and extremist groups and unite them in Yemen again to fight the country’s army and popular forces more efficiently,” he added.

In relevant remarks earlier this month, informed sources disclosed that Al-Qaeda and the ISIL terrorist groups have become the winning cards of the US in Yemen to help that country and Israel achieve their goals.

“Washington has widened its measures to use Al-Qaeda and the ISIL to help Israel to maintain its security,” an informed source in Yemen’s intelligence forces, speaking on the conditions of anonymity, told FNA.

He reiterated that the terrorist groups operating in Yemen are the US tools, and said, “This comes as regional stability and security are endangered by the spread of dangerous terrorist groups,” the source added.

The source further underlined that Yemen’s intelligence and security forces have found corroborative evidence proving the United States’ tight link with the ISIL and, at least, one document showing very clearly that “the Al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula is serving Washington and moving along the line specified by the CIA”.

Political analysts believe that the Saudi attacks on Yemen have strengthened the Takfiri terrorist groups such as the ISIL and Al-Qaeda.
