Yemen arrests 8 Qaeda suspects, including Saudi
|
SANAA - Yemeni authorities have arrested eight suspected al Qaeda militants, including a Saudi fugitive, accused of plotting attacks on security installations, the defence ministry said on Sunday.
| The Saoodi was the brains of the group, the rest were cannon-fodder ... |
The arrests of the eight came days after two suspected members of the same al Qaeda cell were detained following a house raid in the remote Hadramout province that sparked clashes in which three soldiers were killed.
Two al Qaeda elements were arrested during a raid on a house where cell members were hiding, and eight others were caught in the following days, the ministry said in its online newspaper.
A security official said the group arrested in Hadramout was accused of preparing attacks on security and other vital installations in eastern province, but did not identify specific targets.
The defence ministry identified the Saudi who was arrested as Abdullah Faraj Mohamed Mahmoud al-Jawbar, who is on a list of 85 Saudis wanted by Riyadh. It added that authorities had found a suicide bomb belt during the house raid a week ago.
