MANILA, Philippines – The president of Yemen declared as martyrs the seven Filipino medical workers and other victims of the recent bombing and shooting attack in its defense ministry complex.
“[Yemen Foreign] Minister Dr. Abu Bakr Al-Qirbi informed [Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs] Jesus Yabes that the Yemeni President, H.E. Abdo Rabbo Hadi, has declared that the Filipino victims are martyrs, similar to the Yemeni victims,” DFA said in a statement Thursday.
A total of 52 people were killed when suicide bombers attacked the complex of the defense ministry in Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a last December 5. A group of armed men came and opened fire at the complex after the bombing attack.
A hospital within the compound partially collapsed due to the blast. Seven Filipino medical workers, including one doctor, were killed while 11 others suffered injuries.
Yemen has since been placed under crisis alert level three, banning deployment of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) there and implementing voluntary repatriation.
“Minister Al-Qirbi vowed full assistance to facilitate the early repatriation of the remains of the victims and cited the contributions of Filipino medical workers to the Yemeni people,” DFA said.
“Yemeni Minister of Interior, Major General Dr. Abdel Qader Qahtan … conveyed his condolences to the families of the victims and condemned the attack on the hospital,” it said.
Vice president Jejomar Binay, presidential adviser on OFW concerns, condemned the attack calling it a “senseless act.”
“I condemn the bombing in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a. It was a senseless act that has no place in the modern world,” Binay said.
“I hope the Yemeni government will make sure that the families of the bombing casualties are extended all possible assistance they will be needing, particularly in the recovery and repatriation of the victims,” he said.
There are around 1,000 OFWs working in Yemen.
gila. baling grenade ke arah orang awam. kesian. yang tak tahu nak buat apa jadi blur. sedar2 meletup dah. apa kegilaan terrorist ini.
At least 13 people have been killed by an air strike on a wedding convoy in southern Yemen, say officials.
The attack happened near the town of Radda in al-Bayda province, a known stronghold of al-Qaeda.
It was unclear what aircraft carried out the attack, though local people said it was a drone.
The US has acknowledged using drones as part of its support for Yemen's efforts to tackle militant extremists, but does not comment on individual strikes.
Human rights groups say US drone attacks in Yemen constitute unlawful killings.
Despite the counter-operations, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) remains active in Yemen.
Last week it said it had carried out an attack on Yemen's defence ministry in the capital, Sanaa, because the unmanned aircraft were being operated from there
That attack left at least 52 people dead, including soldiers, civilians and foreigners.
It was the deadliest attack in Sanaa since May 2012, when a suicide bomber blew himself up during a rehearsal for a military parade.
Malaysia kena berhati2 jangan sampai unsur2 ekstreme macam ni menyelinap masuk ke negara kita... these kind of people are even worse than gangster geng nombor.. at least geng nombor tak attack public macam ni..
Tak cukup musuh Allah sembelih orang Islam pakai dron, orang Islam sendiri sembelih orang Islam di hospital. Semoga bala Allah menimpa ke atas umat Islam itu sendiri.
Sikit2 Zionis la, Yahudi la, kapir laaa, yang Islam sendiri pejam mata.
tu lah keje pengganas yg berselindung di sebalik nama islam, realitinya bukan islam, kat pakistan pun ulamak dibunuh, kalu aku cakap lebih2 kang org marah,
Aku paling benci bila orang Islam dok terlalak Zionis sana, Yahudi sini, Amerika situ menzalimi orang Islam. Memang sah2 diorang musuh Islam, dah tanggungjawab azali mereka memusuhi & memerangi orang Islam. Boleh paham sangat2.
Tapi bila bab orang Islam memusuhi sesama Islam, berbunuhan sesama Islam, memerangi sesama Islam, semua pakat diam. Yang ini ikut yang itu, yang itu ikut yang ini, yang ini syahid, yang itu syuhada .... dohhh, jadahnya bunuh sesama Islam siap nak tepek label syahid la, syuhada la ... bunuh sesama Islam weiii ...

masalahnya tu bukan islam, guna nama islam, twist ayat al-quran, arab xbermakna islam kan semua pakai serban jubah, bila xpatuh pada agama tu jadinya buat fahaman sendiri
Apa jadahnya guna nama & imej islam pastu bunuh sana sini, media pun berat sebelah xnak jelaskan perkara sebenar, tanya org yg belajar yaman mesir pakistan apa sebenarnya yg berlaku, orang yg berpegang pada sunnah & al-quran lah yg kena bunuh dgn puak2 yg pakai serban jubah menyamar islam ni,
tulah cara halus menyelinap masuk dalam islam pastu buat kucar-kacir, kat malaysia pun puak2 tu berselindung di sebalik islam jugak, jangan tengok sesuatu isu dlm 1 konteks & 1 belah pihak je
