Yemen has detained 19 people on suspicion of planning attacks against Westerners on the orders of the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, a state-run Web site said yesterday.The September 26 site (www.26sep.net) quoted government sources as saying those held would be questioned before possibly standing trial for planning sabotage and terrorist attacks in the port of Aden. Several members of the group had returned from Iraq after Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi told them to go back to Yemen and carry out terrorist attacks, including killing American citizens, the site quoted a source as saying. It said one of the targets was the Aden Hotel and the suspects had bought arms, explosives and detonators. Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-01-25 |
