A new intelligence cell of the UAE, led by the retired Emirati officer Mohammed Ali Arhama, has arrived on Monday at Hadibo airport of Socotra Island province, local sources reported.
Arhama’s cell joined the larger Emirati cell headed by the delegate Khalfan Al-Mazrouei, to carry out special tasks against the so-called “808 Duty Forces” of Saudi Arabia, according to the sources.
The sources explained that, after their arrival, the cell members met with social figures and leaders of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) loyal to the UAE, in addition to leaders from the General People’s Congress Party on the island.
Arhama reportedly handed out big sums of money in bribes to local leaders, the sources added.
