| Yemen questions German, Iraqi over failed attack |
| 2010-06-25 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Yemen has detained a German, an Iraqi and two others it accuses of involvement in a failed suicide attack on the British ambassador's convoy in Sanaa in April, a Defense Ministry website said on Thursday. Prosecutors were questioning the four over the attack that killed the bomber and wounded three people, the website said. Al-Qaeda's Yemen-based regional wing claimed responsibility for the bombing, accusing the envoy of leading a war on Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula on Britain's behalf. Yemen has identified the bomber as a 22-year-old Yemeni, whose father said had been released from prison earlier this year but disappeared weeks before the bombing. |
