Middle East Online and Ummahnews
A large number of Islamist students have been arrested in Yemen in the wake of this week's murders fatal shootings of three American missionaries and the assassination of a socialist political leader, a security official said Thursday. "Many students at Al-Iman University in Sanaa suspected of extremist activities and having links with the assassins of the three American missionaries and the number two of the Yemeni Socialist Party Jarallah Omar were arrested Thursday," said the official. He would not disclose exactly how many students had been arrested, but said among them were "persons whose names were mentioned in the questioning of the assassins of the Americans and Jarallah Omar."
If the Yemenis do something with them other than hold them for a few days and then let them go, they're serious about the War on Terror.
