UAE expands its intelligence activity in Socotra

SOCOTRA, Nov. 3 (YPA) – A new intelligence cell of the UAE led by the retired Emirati officer ‘Mohammed Ali Arhama arrived on Monday at Hadibo airport of Socotra Island province, local sources reported.

Arhama’s cell joined the larger Emirati cell headed by the Emirati delegate Khalfan Al-Mazrouei to carry out special tasks against the so-called “808 duty forces” of Saudi Arabia, according to the sources.

The sources explained that, after their arrival, the cell members met with social figures and leaders of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) loyal to the UAE, in addition to leaders from the General People’s Congress Party on the island.

‘Arhama’ handed every social and political figure a check with big sums of money under the pretext of the so-called “Mohammed bin Zayed’s grant” to buy their loyalties, the sources added.
