Yemeni 1%ers are explosive

Chinese made Suzuki AX100 sold in Yemen

Hell's Angels are bad, Pagans are tough and Outlaws are outlaws, but the baddest club out there might be Islamic killers Al Qa'aida, al Quaida, Al Qaida or however you spell it.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the violent religious freaks are taking over one state in Yemen and running up and down the road killing folks from their motorcycles.

Of course, they aren't rolling in on Harleys or Victories. They going in on Chinese made tiny-bikes and scooters and Suzuki and Honda twiddling knock offs.

But, when you're packing serious explosives and aching to take yourself to Heaven with enough skulls to distribute to all of the ladies waiting for you on the other side, any bike will do.

Authorities in Yemen’s Abyan Governorate banned motorcycles from cities in the region’s urban centers following a spate of assassinations. That takes some 5,000 two-wheeled vehicles, according to the Post and local Yemeni media. The Post reports that A-Q killers killed at least 30 Yemeni soldiers, intelligence officers and security personnel in the past 90 days, making their escape in heavy traffic and narrow streets on small bikes.

The Post reports that bikes ain't Yemen's biggest problem.

"Yemen has a smorgasbord of problems: from a serious impending water crises and an economy overly dependent on a dying oil sector; to Somali pirates; a secessionist movement in the south; and a Houthi rebellion in the north," the report states. "With around two-thirds of Yemen under the control of separatist groups, rebels or local tribes, the Yemeni government is much more concerned with consolidating its power than with fighting the growing band of radical Islamists in the Yemeni mountains."

Maybe they need a few of our 1%ers over there. That could clean up a few problems for Yemen and the U.S. military.
