While Muslims in different part of the world were supposedly enjoying Eid al-Fitr celebrations, the Al-Qaeda front group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant claimed that Al-Qaeda instigated bombings attacks, killing 91 people and injuring hundreds in Iraq.

"The Islamic State mobilised ... in Baghdad and the southern states and others to convey a quick message of deterrence on the third day of Eid al-Fitr," said a statement posted in different forums on Sunday. The statement was a response to Iraq's security forces' operation inquiry on the bombings that happened in Saturday.

The bombings followed another series of attacks in Baghdad prison also claimed by the al-Qaeda front group. The attacks was aimed to free hundreds of prisoners as a sign of warning that al-Qaeda was launching violence again.

The United States had already condemned the attacks which include series of car bombings in places where celebration for Eid al-Fitr was happening. There were bombs targeted to public places like the market, cafes and parks.

Meanwhile, the State Department made a statement that Saturday's attacks were distinct of all the signs marking al-Qaedas Iraqi (AQI) branch. Consequently, the State Department announces a $10 million reward for anyone who can come forward with information that can help the investigation and capture of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the AQI leader.

In other reports, it was alleged that al-Qaeda was also responsible in the killings of five soldiers in the south-east part of Yemen.

The group instigated an open fire against security forces that were guarding Yemen's only liquid natural gas export terminal, ABC News reported. This attack followed similar plot that had been reported in a Canadian-run oil terminal which killed and resulted to kidnappings of foreign workers.

"The attackers arrived in a car at the army checkpoint near the Balhaf terminal. They opened fire with automatic weapons, killing five soldiers before fleeing," a witness who refused to be named said.

The attacks in Yemen happened consequently as there were reports of US drones attack happening since July 28. The drone attacks were said to be targeted against suspected al-Qaeda militants in Yemen. The recent drone attack of U.S. that had happened on Saturday had killed two people and injured one.

The U.S. said that the drones were launched as there were communications intercepted, revealing al-Qaeda leaders Ayman al-Zawahiri planning an attack with Yemen-based al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). According to intelligence from Washington, AQAP is considered the deadliest branch of al-Qaeda among all its branches in different countries.

Meanwhile, with all the attacks happening, the U.S. had announced that it is already opening embassies that it temporarily closed due to feared threats by al-Qaeda. Among the embassies that are presently business as usual were the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, and its consulate in Dubai.

However, Gulf missions in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia as well as te Washington consulate in the Pakistani city of Lahore remain shut down.
