The “Afghan Arabs” jihadist groups, and in their general ideological and leadership framework, the “Yemen Brotherhood” played a pivotal role in resolving the coup of the Sana’a regime on the unity agreement between the State of the South - the People's Democratic Republic and the Yemen Arab Republic - and turned those extremist groups that represented the actual party and partner in the exclusion of cadres The south and its assassination turned into a political party that demands its share of southern power and wealth in return for that renewed bloody partnership in a blasphemous fatwa for the people of the south.
Among the benefits that these groups obtained after they had been a support, supporter, and main partner in the invasion and occupation of the south, and the exclusive agent in the settlement of terrorism in it, many of their leaders assumed important positions in the state and the Sana’a regime, and reached ministerial portfolios and high ranks in the army, security, intelligence apparatus, and judiciary From which the fatwa of jihad against the south was issued through Abd al-Wahhab al-Dailami, head of the Supreme Court, and at the same time, he was the head of the supreme body of the Islah party, the Brotherhood’s branch in Yemen.
According to international reports, the ability of the political wing of extremist jihadist groups, including al-Qaeda, the “Brotherhood Reform Party” to gain extensive and deep military, security and judicial influence, led to the inability of the Sana’a regime to meet international demands in serious and decisive dealing with terrorism and limit its dangers, which made the terrorist organization There is a complex and thorny issue in Yemen that cannot be sorted out without cleaning the structures of the official authorities and state agencies from the influence of its political wing, the Islah Party.
And the European Research Center specialized in radical studies “European Eye On Radicalization” published a report on the radicalization and terrorism of the Brotherhood’s Islah Party in Yemen and the south, stressing that the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist organizations exchange the same masks according to the necessities of time and place, but they meet in being one evil face that prevents a future Mashreq for Yemen” penetrating the judiciary The judicial institution in the Sana’a regime played a role in the aspects of direction, guidance and mobilization for extremist jihadist groups. Rather, it was the first terrorist fatwa activity from the same institution. The fatwa for jihad against the south in 1994 was issued by the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood’s Yemen branch and from the head The Supreme Regulatory Commission, Judge Abdul-Wahhab Al-Dailami, who at the time was the head of the Supreme Court.
Where the Yemeni judiciary and security authorities tolerated a lot with the terrorist elements after 94, because of what was mentioned above, and throughout the stages until today, and this tolerance and similarity appeared in the release of the terrorist elements and their subjection to counseling programs that were run by Judge Hammoud Al-Hatar (Minister of Endowments in the Basindawa government ) and the President of the Supreme Court at the present time, this advice, according to its results, was aimed at supporting and enabling terrorism more than before, instead of subjecting its affiliates to the criminal penalties stipulated by law.
Especially since its results were catastrophic, the judicial system, with its various structures and levels, remained affected by the domination of the Brotherhood’s Islah Party - the political wing of extremist groups - and its identification with terrorist elements was repeated with political decisions behind which Brotherhood figures influential in the state, including in the judicial system, such as Judge Hammoud Al-Hatar, who took advantage of the experience of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia In conducting dialogue and rehabilitation programs with extremist elements according to a strategy that has achieved actual successes, in contrast to the advice and dialogue that Al-Hatar conducted with terrorist elements in Sana’a prisons since 2006, as it was completely different in the intended goals, as evidenced by its results, the most prominent of which was the release and escape of dozens of the most dangerous terrorist elements.
Since the same dialogue that was followed in 2006, and managed by Al-Hatar, according to which more than 314 detainees were released on the basis of their affiliation with Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, they began, upon their release from prisons, to attract and recruit young people to Al-Qaeda, with evidence that all terrorist acts in that period It was carried out by terrorist elements who joined Al-Qaeda after 2006.
In the same year 2006, in which Al-Hatar took over the counseling dialogue with the terrorist elements, the great and terrifying escape took place for 23 of the most dangerous elements of Al-Qaeda. Among these was the former secretary of Osama bin Laden, Nasser Al-Wuhayshi, who later became the founding leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Which was officially established in January 2009.
It does not seem that this escape was an abstract event from the strategy of the Brotherhood in Yemen during its struggle with the Afash regime in the elections and its position on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the strategy of moving its terrorist wings in the region and framing it in one leadership and to prevent its penetration by the intelligence services.
This required, through the advice of Hammoud Al-Hatar, and facilitated by the head of the Brotherhood’s Political Security Apparatus, Ghaleb Al-Qamsh, to enable Nasser Al-Wuhayshi’s escape to undertake the task of uniting the two branches of the organization in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Following the escape of the most dangerous terrorist elements from the Political Security prison in Sana'a, attacks on foreign targets resumed, including the suicide bombing that took place in Marib in 2007, killing 8 Spanish tourists, and the attack on the US embassy in Sana'a in 2008.
But it was the failed targeting of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Eve 2009, which boosted interest in Al-Qaeda in Yemen among the intelligence and Western security services as the most dangerous branch of Al-Qaeda.
Nigerian Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab was sentenced to life imprisonment for attempting that operation, and he admitted to investigators that al-Qaeda trained him in Yemen and ordered him to attack American targets in retaliation for the killing of its members in the country.
The Yemeni authorities did not prosecute Al-Hatar, nor the head of the Political Security Agency, who belong to the Brotherhood, and their involvement in the escape of terrorist elements in August 2014 AD. After the Brotherhood’s monopoly in power and the ascension of Judge Hammoud Al-Hatar as Minister of Endowments, Nasser Al-Wuhayshi, the leader of Al-Qaeda, vowed to free his supporters from Terrorist elements detained in Sanaa prisons.
He himself escaped from a prison in Sana'a in February 2006 with 22 other members of the terrorist organization as a result of the dialogue of Judge Al-Hatar with those elements during that period.
It was not long before the Yemeni Ministry of Interior announced, in a statement published by Saba News Agency, that 29 prisoners, convicted in various terrorist and criminal cases and among the most dangerous terrorist elements, managed to escape through a hole caused by the explosion of a car bomb in the prison wall. Al Qaeda's coast.
Al-Hatar’s insistence on completing the task Al-Hitar was raised in the Brotherhood school as he described it and with its guide Abdo Muhammad Al-Mikhlafi, who is close to the extremist organizations branching from the Brotherhood, which accepted to be a mediator between them and the Sana’a governments several times as he is the head of the “advising” committee that was found to return the youth belonging to the organization Al-Qaeda expressed their ideas, but it was the limit of what experts said in the matter. None of them returned, and that whoever had a role in getting him out of prison returned to the terrorist act.
Al-Hitar did not stop this experience, which gave him a great place in the Brotherhood organization more than before, but continued to demand dialogue and advice to the elements of Al-Qaeda on his previous method to achieve the same results.
In a talk show on the Yemeni channel "Azal", he said that the government's resort to the use of force in the face of al-Qaeda elements led to the use of force by the elements of this group in return.
Al-Hatar referred to a speech by President Hadi, in which he said that 70% of the organization’s members in Yemen are from outside it, calling on Hadi to have an interview with the 30% of the organization’s members who are “Yemeni.”
In a previous interview, Al-Hatar spoke about the experience of what he called dialogue and advice with members of Al-Qaeda during the past years, saying that President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi should start dialogue with members of Al-Qaeda.
Stressing that attempts to uproot this organization through armed force cannot succeed.
Recently, Al-Hatar took advantage of his appointment as head of the Legal Committee to draft legislation that legitimizes what he has been doing to strengthen his relationship and the Brotherhood's relationship with extremist elements and cut the way for the option of combating terrorism with the military option, which the Southern Armed Forces have proven to be effective.
In the draft rules regulating the work of the Presidential Leadership Council, Al-Hitar deliberately put a paragraph stipulating the adoption of dialogue and advice with terrorist elements.
