An Al-Qaeda organization emir was killed on Wednesday in clashes with Yemeni armed forces (Sana’a forces), south of the city of Ma’rib, northeastern Yemen.
Tribal sources in Ma’rib said “Naji Saleh Lamak al-Aqili,” one of the emirs of al-Qaeda in al-Bayda province, was killed along with many Saudi-led coalition recruits. The coalition and the Al Qaeda emir were leading a joint military attack in “Learif” area, south of the city of Ma’rib.
Previously, the terrorist organization had issued many obituary statements for dozens of its leaders who were killed in Ma’rib while fighting in the ranks of the coalition. The latest obituary statement was issued on May 18, 2022, regarding the killing of “Abu Hamza Al-Sanaani.” Al-Sanaani was a professor of Al-Iman University, which is run by the Islah Party leader Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani in Sana’a.
On March 11, 2022, Al-Qaeda issued a statement on the killing of another one of its emirs, “Shaker Mansour Ahmed Sharhan.” Sharhan was also a commander in the 156th Brigade of the coalition forces in the battles that took place in the “Bani Abd” area in Al-Abdiya district of Ma’rib.
