Yemenia transporting Jihaddis
Yemenia, Yemen’s national airline, is managed by Saleh’s son-in-law.
Recently an Iraqi columnist accused Yemen of playing games with the international community and “carrying the stick from the middle.” He described all the publicized measures of preventing fighters from traveling to Iraq as nonsense. He said that Yemenia regularly and openly transports fighters to Damascus. He quoted one eye witness who said that on one previous flight, about 40 Jihadists flying from Sana’a to Damascus to fight in Iraq were speaking openly on the plane about their plans.
President Saleh speaks glowingly about the Iraqi resistance. Yemeni military trains the fighters (the majority of whom are under 20 years old), and the judiciary fails to penalize them for acts committed outside Yemen’s borders. The intelligence services, the airline etc etc pfff
heh, Barry: “I’ve been having fun imagining what airport security in Yemen must be like. At the checkpoint, if they don’t find a gun or bomb on you, do they give you one to take on board?”
