Interior Ministry names saboteur responsible for power blackout
 [Yemen Post] Ministry of Interior named the person who attacked the power transmission lines in al-Shabwan area of Marib, leaving tens of thousands of households in the Yemeni capital and in some other provinces in total darkness. The ministry named Fahd Ali Jabar al-Shabwani, as the prime suspect and responsible for the attack of towers no. 372, and 379 with an iron chain. The ministry noted that police forces are currently looking for al-Shabwani to make him face the repercussions of what he has done. For its part Ministry of Electricity said that special teams have headed to the attacked sites and repaired some of the damage. The technical teams will completely fix the damages and make the station operational again with its full capacity. Meanwhile,...back at the secret hideout, Scarface Al sneeringly put his proposition to little Nell... the residents of the capital Sana'a complained about the frequent attacks, calling on the authorities to bring those responsible for the attacks before courts and punish them severely in order to put an end for the sabotage attacks. The power sector in Yemen has been severely hit since February of last year due to frequent attacks by person or persons unknown. Yesterday, the Arab Fund for Economical and Social Development granted Yemen $ 65 million aimed to bolster the energy sector in the country. A new wind-run power station will be established in Maka area of Taiz which will provide Sana'a and some other provinces currently depending on Marib station with power. Posted by: Fred 2012-04-19 |
