Yemen to try 26 Al Qaeda suspects |
2005-01-22 |
![]() The suspects "have links with those accused of bombing the (French supertanker) Limburg (in October 2002) and with other terrorist attacks which took place in Yemen over the past two years," the source said. The 800 other suspects, who will be tried "in batches," are members of the Faithful Youth organization, which was headed by a Yemeni rebel preacher killed by the army last September, according to the same source. The Yemeni government announced last September that the army had killed Sheikh Hussein Badr Eddin al-Huthi, nearly three months after he started a rebellion in the country's mountainous northwest, near the border with Saudi Arabia, triggering clashes which left more than 400 people dead. |

#1 The 800 other suspects, who will be tried âin batches,â are members of the Faithful Youth organization, which was headed by a Yemeni rebel preacher killed by the army last September, according to the same source. Lol! Since these Yemeni Boy Scouts were rebelling against the Yemenis, they'll get whacked - no revolving door without heavyweight repentance. Now the 26 AlQ types, well, the "judge" will prolly find something untoward in how they were arrested, handled, the charges, or the time of day. It's a complex matter, and only Yemeni Jurisprudence Experts can fathom it. |
