| Security forces raid suspected al-Qaeda hide-out in Yemen |
| 2002-09-21 |
| Two suspected members of al-Qaeda were killed in a gunbattle and three others were arrested after security forces raided several homes Friday looking for members of the terrorist network. Sounds like they found them... Two security forces were wounded in the fight in the northern suburbs of the capital, San'a. Yemeni security forces believed the neighborhood was home to a number of people suspected of belonging to al-Qaeda. Security forces were searching the area late Friday and there were several more exchanges of fire. A cache of weapons was discovered and confiscated during the raid. Yemen will hit these guys themselves for awhile, so as to forestall the U.S. sending in their 800 guys waiting off shore to do it for them. Most, if not all, of those jugged will be released or "escape" when the heat's off. We've done this before... |
