The source said those were mere empty rhetoric and claims of alleged heroism that does not exist on the ground."This is a desperate attempt to cover up their severe defeats, the latest of which was in Lawdar in Abyan province. Our security services are engaging in open war against trerrorist elements and are achieving remarkable success".Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Abu-Bakr al-Qirbi again denied all news reports that spoke about the intervention of international forces in Yemen to combat terrorism. al-Qirbi considered these news reports as "inaccurate media leaks" for election purposes in the United States."Yemen's security is the responsibility of its national services in the first place, and the Yemeni government welcomes any international support in the context of training, extending logistical and technical support and providing the army and security forces with the arms and means of transport required to respond to terrorist elements", the Yemeni official added.The security source also mocked the false claims of the so-called al-Qaeda terrorists, mentioning that what appeared in the account ascribed to those elements were just empty verbal heresies and claims of the non-existing alleged heroism."It is a miserable attempt to cover up the hard defeats that those deviant terrorist elements had suffered, mainly after the painful blows given by our security and military forces' heroes in more than one place", the source explained."The latest incident took place in Lawdar, where those elements received strong blows after being besieged and pursued in their hideouts".Many of them died during the confrontation with the Yemeni forces, while others were caught and are currently undergoing investigation.
