According To Asharq Al Awsat 19 Yemeni

Posted on 09/20/2002 by Juan

According to Asharq al-Awsat, 19 Yemeni al-Qaida members originally found in Afghanistan have been turned over to Yemen by a “sister” country (apparently Jordan), and they are now being interrogated. There are also 10-30 US military trainers in Yemen, teaching Yemeni forces how to combat terrorism. A manhunt is still going on in Ma’rib and Shibwa provinces for two important al-Qaida fugitives, Abu `Ali al-Harithi and Abu `Asim al-Ahdal.
