| Yemen: Scotland Yard team collects information on extremists |
| 2002-07-11 |
| A security team from the Scotland Yard Britain arrived in Sana’a last week to gather information on Egyptian extremists who live in London and suspected to have links with al-Qaeda network. The team asked the Yemeni authorities information on Abu al-Hamza al-Masri, leader of the London-based Supporters of Sharia Group, and Yassir al-Seri who also lives in London. The team also asked for formation on Ayman al-Dhawahiri and other Islamic extremists who lived in Yemen for sometime before moving to other countries like Britain, Canada, Afghanistan, etc. The team met several important officials and visited some institutions whose telephone numbers were found at the house of al-Seri which was searched by police nine moths ago. Washington wants London to extradite al-Seri, suspected to have links to al-Qaeda network. Extradite him to Yemen and save the taxpayers some money. There's already a rope waiting for him there. Or extradite him to Afghanistan — they'd like to talk to him about his involvement in Masood's assassination. |
