[Yemen Post] Soddy Arabian Interior Ministry said on Tuesday that its high-ranking kidnapped diplomat, Abdullah Al-Kaladi, who was kidnapped late March in the southern port city of Aden, is being held by Yemen-based al-Qaeda branch, calling on the terror network to immediately release him.
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... the Yemeni government refuses to confirm that al-Qaeda as a network is behind the kidnapping. The runaway informed the embassy that al-Kaladi is being held by al-Qaeda and relayed the terror network's demands, and conditions for releasing him.The conditions included that all jugged members of al-Qaeda in the kingdom's jails, including ladies, be released and a ransom payment be paid, according to Turki.He mentioned six imprisoned ladies by name, including the women known as al-Qaeda lady, said Turik.For his part, Shiek Ali Abdu-Salam, a tribal dignitary in the south of the country, known as Zabara, confirmed that the kidnapped Saudi deputy consul is being held by al-Qaeda gunnies in the southern province of Shabwa, declining to reveal any further details other than saying that the whole Shabwa is under the gunnies group's control except for Ataq, the placid provincial capital.Turki warned of the great danger of terrorism in Yemen, saying today they kidnapped a diplomat, tomorrow they will explode an embassy and later they might kill a prince. | |
