SANAA (AFP) – Powerful Yemeni cleric Sheikh Abdulmajeed al-Zendani said on Friday it would be "a religious duty dictated by God" to defend Yemen through jihad, or holy war, if it is occupied by a foreign power.

"From the moment the enemy invites itself onto our territory and occupies us, our religion imposes (the obligation of) jihad on us," said Zendani, who has been labelled a "global terrorist" by the US administration.

"It is a religious duty dictated by God," he said during a Friday prayer sermon in the Yemeni capital.

...
Zendani was responding in part to comments on Wednesday by the chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee, Carl Levin, who urged Washington to consider targeting Al-Qaeda militants in Yemen with armed drones, air strikes or covert operations, but not invade the country.
