Security incidents disrupt Sanaa
2003-12-25
Several security incidents have caused concern to residents of the capital Sanaa last week. Among the most serious incidents was the hijacking of a car loaded with material belonging to one of the prominent companies in Yemen at around 11:00 on Monday. The incident took place in Mujahid Street in Sanaa and targeted a company belonging to a Yemeni investor. The hijackers were said to have been supported by a prominent Yemeni Sheikh, Mister Big. The vehicle was robbed of its contents in front of pedestrians and eyewitnesses. “How can investors be encouraged to invest in Yemen if such incidents take place in the heart of the capital and in broad daylight?”
Okay. I'll bite. How can they?
This comes after a number of security incidents against foreigners and expatriates took place more than a week ago. Security forces did arrest a few suspects, who are now undergoing criminal investigation.
"Ooch! Ouch! Hey! Put those away! No! Not the pliers!"
