Yemen was expected to hand over a terror suspect to Saudi Arabia Thursday in a bid to boost security cooperation between the neighboring countries. A Yemeni security official said Thursday, "The dangerous wanted Saudi national will be delivered to the kingdom within the framework of the security cooperation treaty between Sanaa and Riyadh." A Saudi security team arrived Wednesday in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, to repatriate the suspect, who is wanted at home on "serious security charges," the official said.

Earlier this year Yemen and Saudi Arabia exchanged several suspects held in the two countries' prisons. Saudi Arabia said it handed over 13 Yemenis suspected of involvement in the bombing of the USS Cole and the French tanker Limburgh, in exchange for five wanted Saudis.
