The transitional head of Hadhramaut, Muhammad Jaafar bin Sheikh Abu Bakr, said that the Brotherhood militia, which kidnapped us in Shabwa yesterday, was planning to hand us over to al-Qaeda.

Ibn al-Sheikh said in a call to Al-Ghad Al-Mashriq channel, that the Brotherhood militias in Shabwa said they would sell us to Al-Qaeda for five million Saudis, but when we told them that the leadership knew that they had kidnapped us, they laughed it back.

Ibn al-Sheikh added that they were tortured with electricity, insults and beatings by the Islah militia, which repeatedly insulted the south, the transitional government, and the United Arab Emirates.
