Yemen arrests their most wanted AQ terror leader
The question is - will they be able to keep him?
The security forces have arrested the most wanted al-Qaeda element, who escaped from the political security prison in 2006 along with 22 al-Qaeda affiliates, Abdullah Ghazi al-Raimi, the state-run 26sep.net said.
Al-Raimi has been convicted of carrying out terrorist attacks in Yemen during the last years, and was arrested after a more than two-year hunt. Early in February, 2006, al-Raimi and 22 others of al-Qaeda terrorists escaped from the political security prison in Sana'a through the tunnels they had dug beneath the prison.
In other Yemeni news - Rockets hit villas housing American oil experts. Nobody was hurt and Al Qaeda is claiming responsibility. It seems they didn't like their little buddy being taken off the streets. And the streets are pretty wild in South Yemen where the fifth day of riots occurred. More of those pesky ROPer's fighting amongst themselves. This time the Feisty Shiites are taking on the pro-government al Bukhtan tribe and 15 are killed all in the name of Allah.
