| Yemeni suspects face trial in US |
| 2003-11-17 |
| Germany has extradited two Yemenis to the United States on charges that they supported the al-Qaeda network. The two men were handed over to the US authorities on Sunday and flown to New York, German prosecutors said. The move came after Germany’s highest court ruled last week that the men could expect a fair trial in the US. A fair trial and no death penalty, I expect. The US believes Yemeni cleric Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Moayad and his alleged assistant, Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed, raised funds for al-Qaeda. However, Washington has not linked them directly with the 11 September 2001 attacks. Not every al-Q member was involved in 9-11, for Gods sake. They still need to be rolled up. They were arrested in Germany in January following a request by the US. Thanks, we’ll take good care of them. |
