CTP’s Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of Iran and the al Qaeda network. CTP’s Iran team follows developments on the internal politics, nuclear negotiations, and regional conflicts closely. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
Below are the top three takeaways from the week:
1. Yemeni political actors met in Aden and called for the establishment of an alternative capital to Sana’a in either Aden or Taiz, both former capitals, on February 15. There appears to be growing support for an alternative government or regional autonomy throughout Yemen. Sana’a-based politicians reached an agreement to form a new transitional council composed of underrepresented groups, but could not agree on a way forward for Yemen’s executive branch.
2. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reinforced the concept of Iran’s “Economy of Resistance” in a February 18 speech as a reaction to the West’s continued economic pressure on Iran. Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani added that the resistance economy did not imply Iran would close itself off from the global economy.
3. Al Shabaab claimed credit for the bombing of a hotel in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, that killed and injured dozens of people, including Somali government officials, on February 20. Al Shabaab has lost control of some of its strongholds in Somalia, but still maintains its capability to conduct asymmetric attacks.

Taliban lay siege to police compound, kill 19 Afghan security men

Taliban lay siege to police compound, kill 19 Afghan security men
Taliban gunmen have surrounded a police compound in the volatile southern province of Helmand
after killing 19 policemen and seven soldiers in an ongoing siege, a senior police officer said on
Monday from inside the compound.
Napas Khan, the police chief in the Naw Zad district, told The Associated Press by telephone from
inside the compound that the insurgents had advanced to within 20 meters (65 feet) of the
compound. They had seized police vehicles and weapons and blocked all roads out of Naw Zad.
"We need an immediate response from the government," Khan said.
Helmand has long been a heartland for the Taliban, who profit heavily from opium produced in its
fertile river valley.
Government forces launched an operation against the insurgents in March, in the hope of reducing
the impact of the Taliban's annual warm weather offensive. Since that offensive was launched,
however, in late April, attacks across the country have intensified, spreading government forces
thin.
As well as the time-worn guerrilla-style tactics of fight-and-run, the insurgents have also stepped up
suicide attacks and, in some areas, targeted assassinations and kidnappings.
Also on Monday, a suicide truck bomb attack and a separate roadside bombing in southern
Afghanistan killed 11 people and wounded dozens more, as the Taliban clashed with supporters of
the Islamic State group in the west, officials said.
Gov. Asif Nang said the Taliban have been clashing with rival insurgents claiming allegiance to the
IS group for three days in the western Farah province, leaving at least 10 Taliban fighters and 15 IS
supporters dead. He provided no further details.
The clashes provide the latest indication of a small but growing Islamic State presence in the
country. Afghan and foreign officials differ over the extent to which the extremist group -- which
rules large parts of Syria and Iraq -- is able to operate in Afghanistan, where the Taliban have been
waging war against the Western-backed government for more than a decade.
The truck bomb struck the gate of the provincial council's compound in the capital of Zabul
province, killing at least five people and wounding 62, council director Atta Jan Haqbayan said.
Three of the wounded were council members, Haqbayan said. Mirwais Noorzai, Zabul's police chief,
said the attacker used a small truck.
President Ashraf Ghani condemned the attack. No group immediately claimed responsibility.
Insurgents have stepped up attacks in recent months in Zabul, which borders Pakistan, and a
number of Hazara Shiite men have been abducted in the province.
2. Later on Monday, a roadside bomb exploded in the neighboring Kandahar province, killing six
people, according to the governor's spokesman, Samim Khopalwaq.
Three policemen were killed elsewhere in Kandahar when a firefight erupted between two groups of
officers, said provincial police spokesman Zia Durrani. Four officers fled the scene, he said, adding
that the incident was under investigation.
Meanwhile, in northern Sari Pul province, police said the body of a local official in charge of
religious affairs, Abdul Wodod, was found Monday, three days after he was kidnapped. Gen. Habib
Gulbhary, the provincial police chief, said the man was abducted by unknown assailants.
