Date of publication	30 April 2012
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Shabwah Governorate offensive (2014–present)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This image unique and is of a highly historical significance and value. It also illustrates an image of members of AQAP, a subject of public interest. The significance of the image is to help the reader identify the situation, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about it, and illustrate the intended message in a way that words alone could not convey.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Its a photo, not a sketch
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	Will be used only in the Shabwah Governorate offensive (2014-2016) article
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	This footage shows members of a terrorist group and no background information is known of this picture besides what is shown. It belongs to an international illegal militant organization, and such pictures are typically not covered by copyright law (as they cannot legally copyright their material) and therefore it doesn't need fair use. It has no copyright.
