Yemen Seeks Interpol Help on 90 Most Dangerous Suspects
2010-12-24
[Yemen Post] Yemen has given Interpol the names of 90 suspects including 5 Saudis and 2 Somalis described as most wanted because they pose a serious threat to Yemen and the world, a security source said on Wednesday.

Some 36 of the suspects are facing terrorist charges including planning attacks against domestic and foreign interests in Yemen, and the others are facing charges of murders, forgery and burglary, said the source, who asked not to be named.

The Interior Ministry sought help from Interpol after the security authorities had failed to arrest the suspects, expected to have decamped abroad, said the source.

The Saudis and Somalis infiltrated into the country illegally and they were described as 'very dangerous.'

This year, the Ministry circulated descriptions and photographs of many suspects including the 90 to all national security bodies and offered money rewards for information leading to their arrest.

The move came after AQAP had stepped up its attacks throughout the republic.

Yemen has also launched large-scale operations against and a massive hunt for Islamic fascisti mainly in southern and southeastern regions, where AQAP members including top commanders are thought to have holed up.

During the operations, many terrorist suspects were killed, maimed and jugged.

Some of the arrestees went on trials and received sentences including death ones.
