WASHINGTON — The White House said Friday there's no indication the Islamic State group had any operational link to a string of suicide bombings in Yemen that killed at least 137 people.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. is still investigating the claim of responsibility by the Yemeni branch of Islamic State. He said the U.S. is looking to see whether IS has a command-and-control structure that would enable it to co-ordinate the attack.
But Earnest also said IS often claims responsibility for attacks purely for propaganda value. Still, he said the attack shows that everyone in the region — including Muslims — is in danger from IS.
Earnest said there's also no clear evidence backing up the IS claim of responsibility for another deadly attack in Tunisia this week.
Bernadette Meehan, a spokeswoman for the White House's National Security Council, said the U.S condemns the attacks and also condemns airstrikes Thursday that targeted Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. The airstrikes by forces loyal to Yemen's former president missed his palace and Hadi was unharmed.
Meehan said the U.S. is calling on all sides in Yemen to return to political talks to resolve differences. She said all of Yemen's diverse communities must take part in a peaceful democratic process.
So obama thinks it was the Yemen Amish branch that did the killings?
Mormons?
Gee, should I believe him or my lying eyes?
And are those our weapons they have? Just like the bad dudes in Syria...and Libya....etc etc
Anybody out there dumb enough to still believe anything “the White House” says?
Another candidate for the society of the mentally challenged speaks.
Well, the liar-in-chief will just have to find out about it from TV news reports. Apparently, his intelligence services don’t keep him in the loop.
In the Liberal Press “Allahu Akbar” is Arabic for “Nothing to see here”.
We have gotten to the point that any press conference from this administration can be completely ignored.
I think it’s time Obama comes clean. We all know the culprits are followers of the late Mother Theresa.
Anybody out there dumb enough to still believe anything “the White House” says?
Let’s see,
The MSM ?
The Low info voters ?
The 0bama zombies ?
The black community ?(but I repeat myself, again)
The American communist party ?
The average American hating college Professor ?
The Hollywood elites ?
The Rap singers ?
The LGBT**** crowd ?
The crony capitalists ?
The Rino’s ?
I’m sure there are more.
I’m supposed to feel better if there’s another organization out there as evil and effective as ISIS? And all that US super-spying didn’t know about that group, either?
This president wastes no time in defending Islam and attacking Christianity.
Indeed, this administration can be more or less ignored along with their Wag The Dog diversions and their Huff and Puffery rhetoric. I know it, and the rest of the world knows it too. The world is in a state of waiting him out.
