| Transfer of Yemeni Suspect To Sanaa for Cross-Examination |
| 2003-01-04 |
| The Yemeni accused of killing three American missionaries was moved Friday under tight security to the Yemeni capital, where he will face more questioning. "Mustafa, get the truncheons oiled, if you please..." Yemeni officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the move will give U.S. officials better access to Abdul Razak Kamel. Heavily armed police transferred Kamel from the remote southern Yemen village of Jibla, where Monday's slayings at a Baptist-run hospital took place, to the main intelligence headquarters in Sana'a, reported Washington Post. U.S. authorities have not had access to Kamel or his suspected collaborator, Ali al-Jarallah, who is accused of gunning down Jarallah Omar, deputy leader of Yemen's Socialist Party, last week. That was the start of the terror offensive in Yemen... But American diplomats have said Yemeni investigators are co-operating with the United States. Investigators believe al-Jarallah and Kamel belong to a larger cell that was planning attacks against at least eight targets, including foreigners and Yemeni political leaders. And it looks like the Yemenis have stopped it. |

| #1 I thought you polished truncheons. Or are those the Turkish variety, and the Yemenis want to muscle in on the market with a version of their own, and need some testimonials? The cell was perhaps perating out of the school mentioned previously? |
