In a statement issued by the Aden Security Department, the UAE-backed Southern Translation Council (STC)’s militias accused Islah militants of being implicated in Sheikh Othman’s explosion, explaining that it was carried out with an explosive device planted planted in a garbage barrel
This is the same accusation made by leaders of STC, considering that the aim is to put more pressures on the STC to force them to integrate its forces within the ministries of interior and defense in the coalition-backed government.
