Members of the Takfiri Daesh group, including a Westerner, have been captured in Yemen's port city of Aden
Seven suspected members of the Takfiri Daesh group, including a Westerner, have been captured in an offensive in Yemen's port city of Aden.
The captures were made part of an offensive by forces loyal to ex-Yemeni president Abd Rubbuh Mansur Hadi against al-Qaeda and Daesh, which has claimed a wave of deadly attacks in recent months in Aden.
A militant commander, quoted by the AFP news agency, said the arrests were made in the al-Mansoura district of the southern province of Aden on Saturday.
Daesh and other Takfiri groups have exploited a massive Saudi invasion and its attacks on Ansarullah force and the revolutionaries to expand their footholds in Yemen.
There has been an uptick in violence since Saudi-backed forces stormed the city of Mukalla near Aden.
