Al-Qaeda Assassinated 3 Of The STC Field Commanders

As a result of an IED attack on a vehicle carrying the field commanders of Southern Transitional Council in the Al-Baqira area, in the east of Mudiyah district, three STC commanders were killed: Saddam Al-Saadi, the commander of the 3rd brigade battalion, Aref Nasser Makani, the head of the Baqira Center in the Transitional Council, and Ghassan Al-Qadimi.

Considering the beginning of the new round of Al-Qaeda attacks on STC positions in Abyan province, which started on July 22, this assassination most likely Mudiyah-Abyanwas also carried out by the operatives of this terrorist group.
