| Yemen releases 2 men convicted of trying to kill former US ambassador |
| 2008-01-15 |
 Two men convicted of trying to kill the former US ambassador to Yemen were ordered released by an appeals court on Monday. According to their indictment, Hezam Ali Hassan, then 17, and Khaled Saleh, who was 18, followed the car of Ambassador Edmund Hull through the Sabeen area of San'a in 2003. Hassan, armed with a pistol and two hand grenades, climbed the wall of a store Hull had entered, the indictment said. Guards apprehended him before he could throw the grenades, it said. |

| #3 Seems like no one was hurt, and thye were just youts, an all. I'm sure they've reformed, by now. Or maybe the recruitment drives for Iraq are off a bit? |

| #2 Seems to me Yemen asked for the US to give them a sign of good will recently. If this is Yemen's idea of something that signals good will, then perhaps we ought to flick a couple of Tomahawks their way. |
