Yemen anti-terror forces display confiscated STC explosives and equipment used

RIYADH: Yemeni anti-terrorism forces, trained and equipped by Saudi Arabia, show confiscated explosives and equipment belonging to the now dissolved UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Mukalla.

Earlier today, Salam Al-Khanbashi, the governor of Hadhramaut, suggested the United Arab Emirates played an alarming role in Yemen and the largest of its 21 governorates. 

In a televised press conference yesterday, Al-Khanbashi accused the UAE of having exploited the coalition working to restore legitimate government in Yemen “to achieve its own agenda.” 

He also claimed that the citizens of Hadhramaut had been killed, terrorised and tortured by armed groups affiliated with STC leader Maj. Gen. Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, who is backed by the UAE and earlier this month was sacked as vice-president of the country’s Presidential Leadership Council (PLC).
