Rev 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"4 Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
“Hardly a day goes by when our senses are not bludgeoned by some new outbreak of terrorism in the Middle East. Despite our best efforts at making and keeping the peace, political, economic, and religious tensions often lead to unrest, violence, and riots.” Jim Bakker in “Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse”
One day after Al-Qaeda’s #2 leader in Yemen was killed in a drone strike, the terrorist group struck back in an attempted assassination of Yemen’s defense minister.
The attack near government offices in Sanaa killed 11 including 7 of Major General Muhammad Nasir Ahmad’s personal bodyguards. A car bomb detonated as the minister’s motorcade passed the booby-trapped vehicle.
Government security sources told Reuters that the minister survived because of the armor on the minister’s vehicle.
This is the fourth attempt on Maj. Gen. Ahmad since the country’s new government formed in December. The government has launched an aggressive campaign against Al Qaeda since beginning of 2012. The terrorist group blames Ahmad for the military’s operations against them.
