Caribbean vacation for Yemeni terror suspects?
A judge in Germany has ruled that two Yemeni men suspected of being members of the al-Qaeda network should be held in custody - pending a decision on their possible extradition to the United States. The suspects were arrested in a hotel at Frankfurt airport on Friday at the request of the US authorities. A German Government spokeswoman said she was expecting an extradition request from Washington shortly.
"Hi, guys! Welcome to Guantanamo!"
Yemen is also said to be asking for the men's extradition.
"Hi, guys! Welcome home!"
"It that a... a gibbet?"
One of the two detainees was named by security sources as Mohammed Ali Hassan Sheik al-Mujahed - an imam at a mosque in the Yemeni capital Sanaa - is suspected of being a leading fund-raiser for al-Qaeda. The German media have identified the other man as Said Mohammed Moshen.
Who's probably just a bodyguard...
