Yemeni court to try suspected militants for planning terror attacks The Associated Press, Feb. 9, 2005 SAN`A, Yemen At least 10 suspected militants with links to the al-Qaida terror network will stand trial next week for planning attacks on senior Yemeni officials and Western embassies, a security official said Wednesday. The suspects were arrested in December and January before they were able to carry out the attacks, the official said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity. The official said their trial will start on Monday. They have confessed to planning to attack U.S. and other Western diplomats in Yemen, he added. Britain closed its embassy in San'a, the Yemeni capital, for one day on Jan. 5. A statement posted on the British Foreign Office's Web site said there had been "specific information that terrorists are in the final stages of planning attacks against British targets and other Western interests in Yemen." The Yemeni official said another group of up to six suspected terrorists are still under investigation for planning similar attacks in the southern port city of Aden. These suspects were arrested about the same time as those about to go on trial. Yemen, the ancestral home of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, has long been a haven for Islamic extremists. In recent years it has been the scene of numerous terrorist attacks, including the bombing of the destroyer USS Cole bombing that killed 17 American sailors in 2000. Following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, Yemen's government joined the American-led war on terror and cracked down on militants. str-my-jbm ------------------------ Yahoo!
