Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has stressed he has got guarantees during his visit to Washington that Yemen is not targeted in the terrorism fighting campaign. Saleh spoke with clergy, government officials and businessmen in the Yemeni provinces of Aden, Abyan and Lahj in the southern part of Yemen: "We have certain names not exceeding two or three and they are currently chased to be arrested and then find out if they are from al-Qaeda organization."
The gist of those "guarantees" was probably: "Clear up the daggone problem yourselves, or we'll come in and do it for you." |
