| Yemeni admits to lighting worshippers on fire |
| 2007-04-10 |
| A man has admitted to spraying gasoline on worshippers at a Yemeni mosque before setting them on fire, the official Saba news agency said on Monday. Amran district security chief Fathoul al-Qusi told the agency that Ahmad al-Shoumi confessed to the crime after he was detained and questioned. Thirty people were wounded, eight of them seriously, in the attack during Muslim Friday prayers at the mosque in Amran some 60 kilometers north of the capital Sanaa. The agency said Shoumi tended to the injured after the attack and that he would undergo psychiatric tests to assess his mental state. |

| #9 He was on a mission from God. I find the idea of psychiatric exam suspect. When a father kills his daughter or female relative because he suspects them of being with a unrelated man; he is sent for a psychiatric man afterwards too. These people are nuts. |

| #5 The al-Houthi loons are Shiites - they want to reestablish a Shiite theocracy in Yemen. But this incident sounds more like a takfir. |

| #4 Sunni versus Shiia? Shiia is not an issue in Yemen. (there are no Yemeni shiites) |
