location: Cabudwaaq
notes: A man from Dhabad village belonging to the Marehan clan was abducted by unknown persons on 03/07 and beheaded about 8 Km out of Dhabad. ASWJ in Abudwaq (Marehan) was reported not to be adopting any specific security measures following the incident. The beheading is believed to be related to revenge killing between the Saleban and Marehan clans. Although retaliation for the killing by ASWJ seems relatively unlikely relatives of the beheaded man may pursue revenge.
