Al Qaeda Roadside Bomb Kills Three Children In Yemen

Don't worry, Mohammed didn't really care that much about kids so the fact that three children were killed by a roadside bomb in Yemen planted by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula isn't that big of a deal.

From the article at Reuters:

A roadside bomb targeting a Yemeni security patrol killed three children on their way to school in the southern province of Hadramout on Sunday, the Defense Ministry said.

The Defense Ministry, on its website, blamed al Qaeda insurgents for the children's deaths. A local official said the explosives were placed on a road in al-Qatn city in Hadramout.

Now, of course, we won't hear any of this story from the MSM and there won't be much mention from Islamic leaders in the Middle East.....but, let's just say that a U.S. drone's hellfire went off course just a tad and killed ONE Yemeni child - there would be a firestorm of outrage at the New York Times, Chris Matthews would do a week long special on the inhumanity of the U.S. military and every Middle East Muslim leader would be calling for a fatwa on every American soldier and Marine.

But hey, three kids got blown to bits in the name of Mohammed. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Bomb kills 3 children in Yemen


(Reuters) - A roadside bomb targeting a Yemeni security patrol killed three children on their way to school in the southern province of Hadramout on Sunday, the Defense Ministry said.

Separately, the Interior Ministry said on its website security forces were on alert for a potential plot by al Qaeda targeting "vital and government installations" in the southern province of Dalea. It gave no further details but called on residents to report any "terrorist" activities.

Yemen's south is a turbulent region where secessionists are seeking to revive a southern state and where an active wing of al Qaeda has taken root.

The Islamists' footprint in the south expanded during a year of mass protest against former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. He gave way to his deputy in February under the terms of a deal crafted by Yemen's Gulf neighbors with U.S. and U.N. backing.
