Terrorists Gabr al-Bana and Abdul-Rahman Ba Sorah Two Al-Qaeda members who escaped from the Political Security Prison in Sana'a in February 2006 have turned themselves in to security authorities. According to security sources, the two men surrendered after several months of negotiation between the security authorities and the men, through the tribal leaders of the tribes to which the two men belong. Gabr al-Bana, 39, who is from al-Dhale'a and lived in Lackawanna, Pennsylvania USA, and Abdul-Rahman Ba Sorah, 25, a Saudi national from Hadhramout, surrendered themselves after the authorities provided insurance that they would not extend their sentences, said the security source. The source declined to give more details about the terms of surrender. Mohammed al-Qosi, the Deputy Minister of the Interior, said that the men were hiding out between Marib and Abyan. He says that the men actually turned themselves in unconditionally. The two men are now being held at the Political Security Prison in Sana'a, and that they indeed surrendered themselves without condition, said a political security source who asked that his name be withheld. Ba Sorah and al-Bana ware among of the 23 persons who escaped from the Political Security Prison in February 2006, after they dug a 300-meter tunnel under the prison wall. After this escape, many prison officials were jailed, for failing to keep the prisoners confined. Ten of the escapees have surrendered themselves in the last few months, while a few others were killed in subsequent confrontations with security. According to the political security source, there are only six prisoners left at large. The most significant of those is Jamil al-Badawi, who was convicted of playing a lead role in the bombing of the USS Cole near Aden. He had been sentenced to death, although the High Court had reduced the sentence to 15 years. Yemen has asked Interpol to help track down the remaining six escapees, whom it believes have fled the country. Al-Bana, who has American citizenship, is one of the most dangerous people in Yemen, according to the Yemeni and American authorities. The FBI has accused al-Bana of being the essential supporter of an Al-Qaeda cell called the Lackawanna Group in the U.S., and of being one of the most dangerous of the six members of this group, who received training in Afghanistan. Washington has announced a $5 million bounty to anyone who has any information leading to the arrest al-Bana. Ba Sorah is accused by Yemeni authorities of planning to attack the Italian and British embassies [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
