Al Qaeda Apologizes For Attack on Hospital in Yemen

A video released on Sunday shows the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula apologizing for an attack that they carried out.

Qassim al-Raimi states that Al Qaeda is sorry for attacking a hospital in Sanaa, Yemen, on December 5.

The attack killed fifty-two and wounded one hundred and sixty-seven.

Al-Raimi said that the bombers were ordered not to target the building, but mistakenly did so anyways.

He further said that the attack, "wronged us and pained us, because we do not fight in this manner".

The terrorist organization often attacks civilian targets, but is trying to reband themselves as a defender of Islam.
