Iran Press/Middle East: US media outlet "BuzzFeed News" in a newly released drone surveillance footage revealed that US mercenaries are involved in the assassination operation of a prominent cleric from an Islamist political party opponent of UAE in the Yemeni port city of Aden.
It shows the mercenaries running into UAE military vehicles, which had been escorting them, to flee. The bomb goes off and then another one, “booby trapped” to their SUV “to disguise the source of the first explosion,” is set off as the vehicles are seen speeding out of the area.
The attack, though, failed to kill the politician, who had left the building 10 minutes before, said a party official, who added that no one had died in the assault.
According to this report, UAE hired US company Delaware-headquartered Spear Operations Group to do this Israeli-style targeted killing program in Yemen in 2015
US based company "Spear Operations Group" with the asset of US mercenaries including former forces from US Special forces and CIA’s “ground branch,” is founded by Abraham Golan, a well-known Hungarian Israeli security contractor.
The process that brought American mercenaries to the streets of Aden was an offer by former US Navy SEAL named Isaac Gilmore who has connection with former Mossad chief Danny Yatom, according to a 2008 report.
The UAE is a key United States ally whose secret prisons and widespread torture were revealed last June. According to the reports at least five prisons where security forces use sexual torture to brutalize and break inmate.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia lead a brutal conflict in Yemen that has seen children starved, villages bombed, and epidemics of cholera roll through the civilian population. A campaign which is done by US supports by providing weapons, intelligence, and full-fledged support.
The revelations that a Middle East monarchy hired Americans to carry out assassinations comes at a moment when the world is focused on the alleged murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Arabia, an autocratic regime that has close ties to both the US and the UAE.
