  Attack on USS Cole: Background
The Aden-Abyan Islamic Army was suspected to be an offshoot of the Yemeni Islamic Jihad.
The Islamic Jihad group of Yemen, ostensibly unconnected to the Al-Jihad of Egypt or Palestine, came into being during the pre-unification era when Aden was the capital of the pro-Soviet Socialist Republic of South Yemen to oppose the secular policies of the Communist regime in the South.
Before the rejection of the appeal, the Aden Abyan Islamic Army had warned the Ambassadors of the US and the UK to leave Yemen immediately, threatening a strike that ``will be painful for the enemies of Islam.'' The warning was made in a hand-written statement sent to the Saudi-owned, London-based "al-Hayat" newspaper by the Army.

 frontline: target america: the evolution of islamic terrorism - an overview
In the Middle East, Islamic movements increasingly came into opposition with secular nationalism, providing an alternative source of social welfare and education in the vacuum left by the lack of government-led development -- a key example is The Muslim Brotherhood.
Islamic groups were supported by anti-nationalist conservative regimes, such as Saudi Arabia, to counter the expansion of nationalist ideology.
Although radical groups such as the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda, and Kashmiri militants were in Afghanistan prior to the Taliban, the spread of Taliban control has seen Afghan-based terrorism evolve into a relatively coordinated, widespread activity focused on sustaining and developing terrorist capabilities.

When this army reached the borders of Syria, the local rulers and the rich who had been thinking of invading Islamic territories with the help of the Roman army, took to their heels in terror and entered the Syrian territories to save their lives.
The Roman army, which had come to attack the Muslims at provocation of the local rulers, was also compelled to retreat.
They were compelled to enter into a truce with the Muslims; for they had seen with their own eyes that even the Roman army, armed to the teeth, dared not face the Muslims in battle.

 Al-Muhajabah's Islamic Blogs: Army worries about quality
In the Army Reserve, the number of recruits scoring lowest on the aptitude test has also doubled from 2004, though the number of those without high school diplomas is about the same as last year.
Smith, the spokesman for the Army's Recruiting Command, said the Army would not exceed its self-imposed limit of 2 percent of its recruits from Cat 4, though the Pentagon allows up to 4 percent to be drawn from this category.
One Army officer who worked in recruiting and requested anonymity, agreed that some Army jobs, such as a soldier who loads shells on a tank, could be handled by a Cat 4, but those soldiers rarely progress and often leave after their first tour.

 Middle East Report Online: Yemen and the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army, by Sheila Carapico
The remnants of the PDRY army and the ruling Yemeni Socialist Party were defeated in a civil war in 1994 that left the army commanded by former North Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Salih in virtual occupation of what had been the PDRY.
The name "Aden-Abyan Islamic Army" therefore connotes an appeal to the right wing composed of deposed aristocrats, mujahideen and religious ultra-conservatives, but also to some extent echoes the frustrations of Yemenis from Aden, Abyan and elsewhere in the former South, including liberals and socialists as well as social conservatives.
While the term "Islamic Army" implies an Afghan-jihad strategy, it also has a populist ring to it, as would the notion of a "Christian army" among the American religious right.
