| Yemen Arrests Eight Islamists After Mountain Siege |
| 2004-03-08 |
| A week-long siege of Islamic militants in Yemen has ended with the surrender of eight men including six suspects in the 2000 attack on the USS Cole warship, a government official said Monday. "We believe we have six more suspects in the Cole bombing," said the official, who told reporters the siege ended late on Sunday. Excellent, now just hang on to them. He said some wanted men had managed to escape the standoff in the remote mountainous province of Abyan, despite being surrounded by security forces. They always do. Earlier this week at Abyan, security forces arrested local al Qaeda leader Abdul Raouf Nassib, who Yemeni officials say masterminded a 2003 jail break by al Qaeda suspects in the bombing of the warship Cole in a Yemeni port killing 17 sailors. Double leg irons for Abdul, then shoot him. |

| #1 Maybe they should shoot him first, then slap the leg irons on... |
