He is a long time ally of bin Laden and held a six hour meeting with him in Sana'a airport in 1996. Its quite possible they are still in touch by various means.

I totally agree with you that the United States government should stop the millitary and economic Aid that is being a warded each year to the corrupt Yemeni government. There are high ranking officials in the Yemeni government who support and sympathsize with terrorist organization that carry acts of terror against United States interests. It is well known that one of the Yemeni president close relatives was involved in the terrorist act against the USS Cole, and that individual is a High ranking military officer and his name is Muhsin Al-ahmar.It is not shocking that some elements in the Yemeni government support terrorism , what is perplexing is that the U.S government has never mentions Muhsin Al-ahmar as a terrorist nor put pressure on the Yemeni government to hold this thug accountable for his involvment in the attack that took the life of your son and 16 other sailors.
