Globalist Conspiracy with al-Qaeda, Allowed to raid and then blow up Yemen weapons factory. 150 dead.

Hundreds of people protested in the southern city of Aden on Tuesday, blaming the explosion on the authorities. Al-Qaeda Pentagon run?

The death toll from explosions at an ammunition plant in southern Yemen has risen to 150 bodies pulled out of the factory in the town of Jaar.




The explosion has caused great anger among locals, who accuse the authorities of planning it to try to win further support from the US, a BBC correspondent says.

Yemeni officials have blamed al-Qaeda for the blasts. Al-Qaeda Pentagon run?

They occurred while residents were searching for ammunition left behind by suspected Islamist militants, who had been involved in clashes with government forces in the area on Sunday.

Local officials said the death toll was based on the number of bodies found and the number of people missing following the blasts, adding that some bodies had been burnt beyond recognition.

Hundreds of people protested in the southern city of Aden on Tuesday, blaming the explosion on the authorities.

Residents quoted by Reuters said the authorities had deserted Jaar over recent days.

Authorities withdrew after President Saleh said that "Yemen is a ticking time bomb, that he is the only one who can prevent it from blowing up".

A statement from the opposition Joint Meeting Parties (JMP) said it held "the president and his entourage accountable for the conspiracy with al-Qaeda" in the Arabian Peninsula.

The authorities said fighters from the al-Qaeda group raided the factory on Sunday, stealing carloads of weapons.

Yemen: Economic and social problems

Poorest country in the Middle East - 40% live on less than $2 a day
More than two-thirds of the population under the age of 24
Illiteracy 50%, unemployment 40%
Dwindling oil reserves and falling oil revenues; little inward investment
Acute water shortage
Weak central government
Analysts fear that the group, which claims affiliation with Osama Bin Laden's militant network, is taking advantage of instability caused by the spate of anti-government protests.

The Yemeni government has been a key US ally in the region, conducting numerous joint anti-terror raids. BECAUSE of this, militancy has continued to flourish.

Yemen is also chronically poor - unemployment runs at about 40%, and there are rising food prices and levels of malnutrition.

Israel acts against explosive bombing

Perhaps a false flag event, an explosive device in a bag exploded Wednesday near Jerusalem's central bus station, killing a 59-year-old British woman and wounding more than 50 other people. There has been no claim of responsibility.

So when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates by his side, said Friday that Israel is ready to act "with great force and great determination" against terror attacks, it was interesting that he already had. Israelis launched strikes in Gaza.


Gates offered his condolences to families of victims of the latest bus stop bombing and rocket attacks. Netanyahu said civilized countries have a common stake in fighting terrorism.
"We seek to establish security for the establishment of peace," Netanyahu said.
Gates said the U.S.-Israeli defense-security relationship never has been stronger.

Israeli warplanes attacked the supposed terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip on Thursday. They were responding to a (theater) Palestinian attack in Jerusalem, where a bomb was exploded at a bus stop, the first terrorist attack in Jerusalem in six years.

That bombing was in retaliation for earlier Israeli air raids on Gaza which, in their turn, were a response to an escalation of Palestinian mortar and rocket attacks on Israeli settlements near the border. And so it continues.
