A regional Al Qaeda boss was arrested in eastern Yemen in October in a raid that also saw his deputy killed, landing a major blow to the extremist groupâs operations on the peninsula, according to a UN report.
The document said Khalid Batarfi, the head of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula for about a year, had been detained and his deputy, Saad Atef Al Awlaqi, had been killed in an operation in Ghayda City, Al Mahrah Governorate.
The 23-page report â published this week by a UN Security Council team that monitors extremist groups â is the first official confirmation of Batarfi s arrest after unverified reports late last year.
