Yemeni Police Arrest Two Men With Explosives
2003-10-15
Yemeni police have arrested two men and seized nine suitcases full of explosives in the southeastern town of Hadramout, a security official said Wednesday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the arrest took place Saturday after a tip. Both men are under investigation, the official said. One of the men is a contractor and the other owns a dry-cleaning shop. No other details were available.

#3  Have you noticed that in ancient hebrew (a semitic language) Hadramout is spelled "Hatzarmavet" which translates roughly into "the death yard".
I wonder is there something we dont get here ?
I also recommend a hebrew crash course to the Yemen security employees (and while we're at it, why not a course in Yiddish ??)

#2  The contractor probably has some use for explosives, but for the dry cleaner... I don't care how bad the stain was. No explosives. And I'm not buying that it's an Ancient Yemeni Secret.

#1  Excessive baggage charges will get you every time. Especially if you try to pay with old Iraqi bills with Saddam's picture on them.
