Over 30 terrorists killed in Yemen: Interior Minister

SANA'A, Jan. 24 (Saba) - About
30 terrorists of al-Qaeda have been killed by security forces recently, Interior
Minister
Mutahar al-Masri said Sunday.

In the conclusion of a training course for new police forces, al-Masri said that
the security authorities have been managed to raid strongly al-Qaeda.
Many of al-Qaeda members have been apprehended and the others will be hunted all
over the country, the minister said.
"Yemen faces threes challenges, Houthi rebellion, southern movement and al-Qaeda"
he said, underlining that the security authorities in Yemen are able to tackle
them.
Yemen has been intensifying its crackdown on alleged hideouts of al-Qaeda. Yemen's
war against al-Qaeda resulted in killing many leaders of al-Qaeda in the Arabian
Peninsula
(AQAP) including the top regional leader of al-Qaeda Qassim Yahya Mahdi al-Raymi.
Interior Ministry has said that Yemen's war on terrorism and al-Qaeda would
continue almost daily to prevent al-Qaeda operations against any national and
foreign interests.
