Yemen, which has convicted many suspected militants, will soon put on trial another 172 people for suspected links with Al-Qaeda and terrorism, an official weekly said Thursday.
Security agencies have referred to the public prosecution files about 172 people suspected of affiliation to Al-Qaeda and other terror groups, said September 26, mouthpiece of the defense ministry.
Some of them were arrested on suspicion of plotting armed attacks against domestic and foreign targets in Yemen, it said, quoting a security source.
The report said the prosecution was about to wrap up the interrogations and the suspects would go on trial "in the coming days," but it did not give a specific date. |
