Terrorist elements vandalize cemeteries in Hadramout

HADRAMOUT, April 10 (YPA) – Extremist ‘takfiri’ groups on Saturday demolished several “Sufi” shrines in Hadramout province, eastern Yemen.

According to local sources in the province, extremist elements believed to be affiliated with the terrorist ISIS elements demolished several tombs in the cemetery of Al-Hami city.

These elements consider the shrines a “heresy”, and that they should be equated with soil.

The sources added that the extremist elements declared the Sufi scholars in Hadramout as “infidels”, in actions that express the ideology of the Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists, indicating that the demolition of graves and mausoleums threatens the security and social peace in the province.
