| [Yemen Post] Four men, standing trail at the Specialized Criminal Court in Hadramout for plotting attacks against foreigners and government officials, on Saturday pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to the charges during their opening trial. The prosecution charged that the four men decided to form a fighting cell to attack foreigners and government officials, but were jugged before carrying out attacks. Presiding Judge Abdu Awadhi, adjourned the session until December18, to start hearing the prosecution witnesses in the case, a judicial source told The Yemen Post. Official media accuses the self named southern movement of being in cooperation with Al-Qaeda. By 2008 Al-Qaeda had regrouped as a Saudi-Yemeni coalition under the name Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula with a new desire to target the Yemeni state itself. |
