Almotamar.net - Military sources have said Thursday that military units have controlled the last strongholds of the terrorist elements in Al-Hasaka Mountain and defeated the terrorist and sabotage elements from 6 other positions neighbouring the mountain and the areas nearby Al-Zubair village on the road of Kitaf-Al-Buqaa in Saada province, north Yemen. Those positions were considered among the most important strongholds the terrorists were using for aggression on citizens and armed forces and blocking roads.
The sources have also indicated that other military units , in cooperation with Waela tribes the Valley of Albu Jabara , have completed their control over the Anban Mountain on Wednesday , pointing out to inflicting heavy loses in lives and equipment on the elements of terror there where many of them were killed or wounded. Specialised units have also removed landmines and explosives the terrorists had planted in the area and on sides of roads.
Meanwhile, armed forces and security men launched an attack on terrorist elements that infiltrated into nearby Jarman station in Uqab on the road of Saada-Ayn, inflicting on them heavy losses. Another military units repelled infiltration attempts by terrorist elements towards Dhahr al-Himar area and the hills nearby Ghafir and Al-Jaraeb and inflicted heavy losses in men and equipment on those elements and forced them to flee the area.

Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria.
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
