The militant leader of al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen said in a video posted on militant websites late Saturday, Dec. 21, that its fighters attacked a hospital and a place for prayer at the complex that they had been warned not to attack prior to the Dec. 5 attack. Qassim Al-Rimi, commander of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula later said, “We accept full responsibility for what happened in the hospital and will pay blood money for the victims’ families.” (AP Photo/Yemen Defense Ministry, File)
