Just few days after the terror attack on the Nigerian Airforce and Army base in Maiduguri, a powerful explosion occurred outside the Ministry of Defense
building in Sanaa, Yemen, on Thursday morning.
The explosion, which took place just after 9am. local (1 a.m. ET), was powerful enough to damage surrounding structures.
Witnesses said they heard more than 10 explosions with heavy gunfire following the explosions
Yes! "Nearly 2,000 security
forces will be deployed throughout the Yemeni capital before noon" a
senior Defense Ministry official said.
Roads leading to the
ministry were also closed down and checkpoints were introduced. Dozens
of ambulances and fire trucks rushed to the site of the explosion but the BIG QUESTION is, does it solve the problem?
These two attacks are similar to each other considering the targets which are both to weaken each of the countries' defense institutions. I think it's high time governments of these countries take a further step with preemptive and pro-active measures in fighting terrorism via the use of modern ICT intelligence.
Terrorism is not meant for a certain country to fight alone. It's high time we all stand up against terror.
