Yemen (Sanaa) - Al-Qaeda Organization in the Arab Peninsula said Saturday it was responsible for some 50 operations carried out in different parts of Yemen in the last five months of last year.

In a statement about the operations, released in a Al-Qaeda website, the organization said it executed 13 operations against security officers in five Yemeni governorates, six of them in Abyan in which 13 officers and soldiers were killed.

It claimed responsibility for assassinating three intelligent officers in the Eastern governorate of Hadhramout and the murder of deputy director of criminal investigation in Ma'reb governorate.

Al-Qaeda said in the statement that it kidnapped deputy director of political security department in Saada governorate, Colonel Ali Al-Hussam because "he was running networks spying against Muslims for 20 years." Up to 36 operations were carried out by Al-Qaeda militants in Abyan and Lahj governorates, it said.

Two operations were implemented in the capital, Sanaa, one against a bus carrying security forces and the other against the car of the deputy British Ambassador.

Al-Qaeda said five of its militants were killed and four were injured during the previous operations. (KUNA)
