Bahrain Mirror: ISIS declared on its Telegram instant messaging application its responsibility for killing the Aden Airport security officer last Tuesday (November 22, 2016), in the southern Yemeni city.
A local security source told Reuters that gunmen in two vehicles shot Colonel Abdul Rahim Ali Al-Dalei, while he was leaving his house in the Mansoura district in Aden. The gunmen escaped directly after the shooting.
Aden, the second biggest city in Yemen, witnesses a very unstable security status, with the growing grip of armed groups, among them extremist groups as Al-Qaida and ISIS.
The Yemeni government tried to impose its reign on Aden, which is home to a strategic port, in light of bombing and assassination escalations in the past few months.
The 20-month old struggle has claimed the lives of more than ten thousand civilians, and displaced over three million people.
