Operation Good News

Operation Good News, was a military operation during the Yemeni Civil War (2015- Present) in the Al-Mahrah, Hadramaut, and Shabwah Governorates to assassinate prominent Al-Qaeda Commanders in the country. Operation Good News was intended to bring Al-Qaeda into disarray and make them more unorganized in the region then they already were. It was also meant to bring a swift and sudden end to Bush's War on Terror

The operation was conceived on the morning of February 10th, 2025 after a meeting of the United States Cabinet. With cooperation from the Yemeni, and Saudi Governments the operation utilized special operations forces with members of SOAR

The first operatives were assigned to Kandahar, Afghanistan where they began mission briefing on the first target Khalid Batarfi (1978-2025) who would successfully be assassinated in his Al-Ghaydah home. With further cooperation between Vice President James Edwards and Secretary of Defense Joseph Dunford the next two targets Qasim al-Raymi (1978-2025) and Nasir Muhammad 'Awad al-Ghidan al-Harbi were successfully eliminated within 28 days of each other.

The operation was deemed a success in early April and Vice President James Edwards wrote a speech titled "The Yemen Address" shortly after he was contacted by the Department of Defense. The involvement in Yemen did not receive much attention from the media and the war it sought to end has yet to finish.
