Leading al-Qaeda operative captured in Yemen
 Yemeni intelligence captured a leading member of the al-Qaida network in Yemen after a manhunt and searches that lasted several months, reports indicate. An intelligence source quoted in daily al-Ayam said the al-Qaida operative was identified as Y. Harazi and captured last September in a suburb of Sanaa following months of searches and monitoring. "He is a leading activist in the so-called al-Qaida cell in Yemen, which was completely dismantled by the security agencies that captured or eliminated its members over the past few years," the source said. He said Harazi is suspected of involvement in terrorist attacks that targeted Yemeni officials, government installations and foreign interests.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-11-04 |
