Sana'a: An unknown group, calling itself Al Qaida organisation in Yemen, on Monday claimed responsibility for a failed attempt to attack an oil installation in Mareb, in the east of the country, last week.
"The organisation of Al Qaida in Arab peninsula, Jund Al Yaman brigades, announces responsibility for the blessed operation done by a group from Khalid Bin Al Waleed brigade on Wednesday June 25, 2008, by firing three missiles on Safer refinery in Mareb province to cut the Zionist-Crusade aorta," said a statement posted in a website interested in Jehadists' issues, (www.alekhlaas.info).
The statement came four days after an unknown group failed to attack the oil installations at Raidan, Safer, in Mareb province.
While the security authorities denied the failed attempt, villagers of nearby areas confirmed explosion of one of the three missiles.
Unexploded missiles
"We heard a sound of bombing and went to the place, which is about 3km from Raidan oil field. We found two unexploded missiles, and scattered fragments of the one that exploded," a villager told Gulf News after the failure of the operation last week.
"Among the two unexploded missiles, one of them had 'Al Harethi' and the other had 'Al Rabie'e' [written on it]," said the villager in reference to two slain Al Qaida operatives.
