ISIS arrives in Yemen , announces "holy jihad" against houthis .

ISIS maniacs arrive in Yemen . their mission : To “cut the throats” of Shiite Houthis.

Ironic , since their prime target in some Iraqi cities was not shia muslims , but sunni ones .

Now once again , i really would love to know whats ATS member's stance on the issue since US is cooperating with "kingdom of saudi arabia" in bombing Houthis .

Also , let's discuss how they even gained access to yemen ? how did they arrive in yemen ? from where ?

Yemen has 2 neighbors : 1- Oman 2-Saudia . the former is a balanced state with sane officials , the latter is in war with the same houthis .

so is it safe to assume they arrived from saudia ? if so , whats US government's stance on the issue ?

The Islamic State has declared its official presence in war-torn Yemen as the jihadists posted a video online, threating to “cut the throats” of Shiite Houthi rebels.

Like most Islamic State (IS, former ISIS/ISIL) videos, the 9-minute-long clip was professionally shot and edited - with CGs and catchy background music.

It showed around two dozen IS fighters in full military gear training in the desert area, which is claimed to be located near the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.

The jihadist carried AK-47s, heavy machine guns and RPGs and then fired from some of their weapons.

After that, the apparent commander of the group stuck the black IS flag into the sand and pronounced that the “soldiers of the Caliphate" have arrived in Yemen to “cut the throats” of the Houthis.

"We have come to Yemen, with men hungry for your blood to avenge the Sunnis and take back the land they have occupied," the IS commander said in a video, the International Business Times reported.

He then addressed all able-bodied Sunni men in Yemen to join him the battle against the Houthis.

The video was posted online on Friday, a day after a newly-announced division of the IS, the Green Brigade, claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on the Shiite rebels.

On Wednesday, five Houthi militia members were killed in the car bombing in Ibb province in central Yemen.

It became the second attack claimed by the IS in the country after 142 people were killed and another 350 injured in a series of suicide bombings at Shia mosques in Sanaa on March 20.

The Sunni IS and Al-Qaeda, which has traditionally been the dominant jihadist group in Yemen, view the Shiite Houthis as heretics.

The Houthi rebels took control of Sanaa in September 2014, forcing Sunni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee to Saudi Arabia and are now fighting for the strategic port city of Aden.

Saudi Arabia and its Sunni Arab allies have been bombing the Shiite rebels since March 25, with over 550 civilians having been killed since the start of the airstrikes, according to UN estimations.

SITE Intelligence been busy with the video production work again?
It does rather beg the question "how did they get there", doesn't it. With a full land sea and air blockade in place, they just managed to breeze in and make their little video and get it edited and posted online.

Well at least the US can now expand it's bombing of ISIS to Yemen as well, and we all know how well that is going in Syria, where they seem to bomb anything and claim ISIS were there.

ISIS = the new bogeyman on the block because, well, Al Qaida were just soooo last decade!

That's what drives me nuts about this whole Middle East thing.

Why on earth are western allied countries fighting against the Houthis, when it's the Houthis that are fighting our sworn enemy ISIS ??!

It makes no sense whatsoever.

Are we fighting ISIS, or aren't we ?

What's odd about this is surely the saudis and especially their royal luvvies are terrified of ISIS so surely they wouldn't, were things honest here, want sunni siding with ISIS. They do have dissent within their own country so should be especially vulnerable.

a reply to: haman10

ISIS always ends up somehow doing what US and Saudi policy wants them to

Confusing ??

Only if one doesn't know US created ISIS out of "Syria Rebel" mercenaries.

Well i hope you are

Since you know : Western coalition is helping the wrong side both in Yemen and Syria .

Some may wonder what the hell is going on . Firstly , Why is US helping Saudia bombing Houthis ? What have they done to deserve such an action be taken against them ?

secondly , why hasn't a single strike been taken out against Al-qaeda in Yemen .

and last but not least , as you also mentioned , how in the freaking hell did ISIS move to Yemen ?

Careful. You are beginning to wake up

Soon you'll be on US watch list

a reply to: Shiloh7

I don't think Saudis are threatened in any sort from ISIS . Saudis have long supported this group .

ISIS has access to expensive US-made TOW missiles . TOW missiles are not available in any regional country except , well , saudia . lol

Fighting ISIS is just theatre for the masses, and an excuse to drop bombs on people far away in places we want to control. By "we", I do of course mean the psychopaths and mass murderers we have in power.

Al Qaida was losing it's edge in the fear campaign, so they staged the final act, the raid on a far flung "compound" belonging to the arch nemesis of the West, Osama Bin-Dead Ages, and thus Al Qaida starts to disappear from the scene. Of course, they then need to have an even more scary enemy for us to focus on and fear, and right on cue ISIS comes along. Well scripted, well armed, just pops up out of nowhere and takes over where AQ left off.

The MIC gets to keep earning huge profits for all the shiny new arms they must produce and sell, and the planners get to engineer more death and destruction theatre for the news, all the while telling the sheeple that they are fighting the good fight to protect us all from this latest threat. Of course, they also get the bomb the bejeezus out of countries they don't like and engineer a bit more "regime change" along the way.

It seems to me that western allies are putting more importance on keeping a puppet leader in place (Hadi) than they are on the importance of wiping out ISIS.

So all this fear mongering about the horrors of ISIS is apparently nothing but lip service to keep the war machine chugging along.

I'm just so sick of our governments talking out both sides of their mouths.

Seems more like they are fuelling a war, well more genocide actually.

Why send troops in to fight an enemy (radical Islam) when you can simply get them to kill each other?,

This is nothing

You ought to look into fall of world trade centre 7 on 9/11

Things are not that simple

Creation of ISIS easily leads to things getting out of hand

And then what

Suddenly you need US troops to go and fight

US policy is policy of continuous failure for everyone even US

My best guess is because the Houthis pushed out Hadi.

When a puppet leader gets put into place by western interests, getting rid of said puppet leader is a huge 'no-no' in the political sphere.

Thus, now the Houthis are the bad guys.

Apparently, more 'bad' than ISIS.

Go figure.

KILL each other ? the heck that supposed to mean ? this is not a war between 2 radical groups in Yemen . it's not a war between 2 radical groups in Syria and Iraq either .

It's the fight between normal people and terrorists , period .

My personal take on the issue : Saudis help ISIS - an enemy of West - but they ignore it cause , well God bless cheap energy if you know what i mean .

Sometimes they even step in to refuel saudi jets in return for even lower prices in BRENT .

i mean who gives a tootsie if hundreds of thousands of innocents die in the process ? it's not their country . F them all

Yemen eh.

What is the betting those areas will be completely safe from Saudi Arabia bombings now.

EVERYTHING in the WORLD has EVERYTHING to do with 9/11, you can thank the Saudis and Yanks for that. There is never a week that goes past (or even a day) without some yank somewhere harping on about 9/11 like a broken car alarm in the neighbourhood that goes off every hour.

They used up all their quota of sympathy, its now ANNOYING.
