You think I'd learn! The Yemeni media continue to carry Al Qaeda's water on the Arabian Peninsula. And the Yemeni government is just jerking us around.
Yesterday, we reported Said al-Shihri's capture following an auto accident here.
That is not the case.
Today, the Yemen Observer has been caught playing loose and fast with the facts AGAIN by Miss Jane over at the Jawa Report.
The erroneous "exclusive" report announcing Saed al Shihri's capture was not some typo by the Yemen Observer. They pulled the first story that correctly identified the person arrested as Yousef al Shehri, deleted it not corrected it, and replaced it with an article announcing Saed was captured.
Now, after the news is spinning all over the web, they issued a correction. The Yemen Observer is a propaganda front for the Yemeni government and a component of its efforts to delude the world into believing there has been any progress in the battle to diminish the threat from al Qaeda.
So far Yemen's "All Out War" on al Qaeda yielded zero among the top leadership but lots and lots of propaganda to the contrary. Its been like this all along.
Note to self: Delete the Yemen Observer from my bookmarks.

That's the way with islam, at the end of the day, they usually come down on the side of the jihadists amongst them.
