Update: On Friday, US troops arrested six Arab “mujahedeen,” including two Yemenis, in Baghdad. Large quantities of arms and explosions were found in the house where the men were lodging. Two Yemenis were sentenced to 5 years imprisonment by an Iraqi court last December for illegal entry and arms possession. Alwatan, Saudi daily, said in a report last month that 17 Yemenis were killed in Iraq recently either in suicide attacks or in clashes with Americans and government troops. Al-Wasat published a report in December saying that most Yemenis going to Iraq are from Abyan.
