(Some) al-Qaeda prisoners captured
2006-02-11
According to unverifiable sources, Yemeni security forces captured some of the escaped Al-Qaeda prisoners in a house Sana’a. The 23 suspects escaped Friday from Political Security Central Prison in Sana’a. Thirteen are accused of attacking the U.S. Navy Destroyer USS Cole, killing 17 American soldiers, and the French ship Limburg docked in Aden Port. On Sunday, the International Criminal Police Organization – known as Interpol – released an international alert for escaped fugitive Jamal Al-Badawi, mastermind of the Oct. 12, 2000 USS Cole bombing in Aden. Al-Badawi was sentenced to 150 years in jail but his sentence later was converted to a death sentence. He and 10 other suspected Al-Qaeda prisoners previously escaped from Aden’s Political Security Prison in 2003. Al-Badawi was rearrested and returned to the prison.

Yemeni security forces set up checkpoints throughout SanaÂ’a trying to catch the fugitives before they attempted hiding in mountainous tribal territories far from Yemeni government control. Security arrested approximately 200 of the fugitivesÂ’ relatives and associates for investigation. A security official said combined operations are taking place in areas considered to be extremist group strongholds. The official confirmed that fugitivesÂ’ relatives and friends have been arrested.

#2  Periodic detention of.... friends and family appears to be the key.
