(Ha'aretz) Zvi Bar'el - The Yemen-based arm of al-Qaeda recently sent its members in Gaza a training manual with instructions for building a light aircraft powered by a car engine to launch explosives against targets in Israel. Documents sent to Ha'aretz by a group of Shi'ite separatists in Yemen that opposes al-Qaeda points to regular, direct contact between al-Qaeda in Yemen and supporters in Gaza, some of whom are active in Al-Tawhid wa al-Jihad, which has carried out terror attacks against resorts in Sinai. According to one report, Al-Tawhid wa al-Jihad had already purchased 25 Grad rockets and concealed them in greenhouses in Sinai and Gaza.
