Daesh terrorists confirm fighting alongside Saudi mercenaries in Yemen

Daesh terrorist group has openly confirmed that its members are fighting alongside Saudi-backed mercenaries against Yemen’s army and forces from popular committees in the province of Ma’rib.

Over the past few weeks, Ma'rib has been the scene of major operations by Yemeni forces pushing hard to recapture it from forces loyal to the former Saudi-backed government. Daesh issued a short statement on Wednesday, saying it has carried out operations against Yemen’s Ansarullah forces in Ma’rib province, killing and wounding a number of the movement’s forces. The new development came after Ansarullah forces and their allies in the Yemeni army launched a major offensive to retake Ma’rib, which is considered as the last stronghold of Saudi-backed forces in northern Yemen. Their advances have raised concerns in the Saudi-led coalition and their allies, including the US. On Tuesday, US State Department spokesman Ned Price called on Ansarullah to halt its offensive and end retaliatory strikes on Saudi Arabia. The movement says the call proves US support for terrorist elements in Ma'rib. Last October, the Foreign Ministry of Yemen’s National Salvation Government first said that militiamen loyal to former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi were closely working with al-Qaeda and Daesh terrorists. The ministry, in two separate identical letters addressed to the United Nations and the UN Security Council, elaborated on clean-up operations carried out by Yemeni armed forces and fighters from the Popular Committees against al-Qaeda and Daesh terror cells in the central province of Bayda. The letters said there were foreign nationals, mostly Saudi citizens, among militant commanders and combatants slain in Yemeni operations. Large amounts of weapons, bombs and explosive belts were also seized, the letters said. Saudi-led coalition, mercenaries working with al-Qaeda, Daesh in Yemen: Foreign Ministry
