 THREE Australians arrested on terrorism-related charges in Yemen have met Australian consular officials for the first time. The three -- brothers Mohammed and Abdullah Ayub and another man, Malek Samulski -- are among a group of eight foreigners with suspected links to al-Qaida who are facing terrorism charges in Yemen over an alleged plot to smuggle arms to Somalia. The Australian consul in Riyadh visited the men on Saturday and a spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Australia confirmed the men were in good health but still did not know the nature of the charges. |
