New statement from al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula: "Glad tidings for the believers within the series of Operations of Defense for the People of the Sunnah"

NOTE: Earlier in the week, AQAP released a statement claiming responsibility for the two attacks against the Ḥūthīs. This second one identifies the two individuals involved in the attacks. The attack on ‘Īd al-Ghadīr was conducted by Abū ‘A’ishah al-San’ānī al-Hāshimī while the second attack on Badr ad-Dīn al-Ḥūthī’s funeral procession was conducted by Abū ‘Abdullah al-San’ānī. AQAP claims that during the first attack they killed Badr ad-Dīn al-Ḥūthī.
I’m not sure what to think about AQAP coming out with two statements about this and not having this information all in the first statement. Was AQAP’s senior leadership unaware of the attack until after the fact? At the same time, it’s hard to believe that they wouldn’t have authorized such an attack especially since it’s the first time AQAP has attacked the Ḥūthī’s. I’ll defer to Gregory Johnsen on this one and see what he says once he blogs about it.
