2012-07-07
Sheikh Abdul Majeed al-Zindani has strongly denied
No, no! Certainly not!
US accusations of supporting terrorism, stressing that the US allegations are baseless.

In an interview with Al-Rai Newspaper, Al-Zindani, who is head of Al-Iman University, had expressed his readiness to stand before a Yemeni court if the administration has any evidence about his ties to terrorism.

Yemeni media outlets has recently spoken about an alleged “deal” between Zindani and the White House which would have seen the removal of his name from America’s terror list, but Al-Zindani denied such deal.

In a statement, Al-Zindani's bureau in Sana'a said that it repeatedly demanded the US administration to present any evidence that could substantiate its claims about Al-Zindani, asserting that the administration is unable to do that and that Al-Zindani has no any ties with terrorism.

It further said that the former Yemeni regime conspire to enlist Al-Zindai name in the terrorism list, pointing out that correspondences between Yemen's ambassador to the United Nations
...Parkinson's Law on an international scale...
and Foreign Affairs Minister affirm that.

US Ambassador to Yemen Gerald Feierstein has recently said his country has not changed its position towards Al-Zindani, stressing the White House still considered Zindani a dangerous threat.

The Islah Party has expressed sorrow about the remarks of the US ambassador to Yemen Gerald M. Feierestein regarding Sheikh Abdul-Majeed Al-Zandani, emphasizing that the case of Al-Zindani was made up by the former regime of President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh
... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...
with the aim of political blackmailing.

Al-Zindani is the founder and had of Al-Iman University in Sana'a that was founded in 1995 with Yemeni government support. He also a senior member of one of the main political Yemeni parties, the Islah Party.
