Another Al Harbi Surrenders in Yemen
A few days ago, the Saudi Interior Ministry denied being notified of the arrest of Alwan, the “major financier” recently captured, just like the Saudis never officially heard about the seven Saudis captured that Yemen announced in the spring. This guy I think may be on the Saudi issued list of 85, I recall there were a lot of al Harbis there. Earth Times
Sana’a, Yemen – An alleged Saudi member of al-Qaeda has surrendered to police in Yemen, the Defence Ministry reported on Thursday – one week after the arrest of a Saudi man described as the senior financier of the terrorist group in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The man, identified as Naif Duhais Yahya al-Harbi, has provided “important information that will lead to the arrest of a number of dangerous members of the organisation,” the ministry said in its online newspaper.
Al-Harbi gave himself up “after a constant manhunt” by Yemeni security forces, it said, providing no details on the exact date or location of the surrender.On June 12, police arrested a Saudi man described as the top financier of al-Qaeda operations in Yemen and neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
The suspect was captured in the desert province of Marib, some 190 kilometres north-west of the capital Sana’a, police officials said.
Yemen launched a countrywide manhunt in January for Yemeni and Saudi fugitive al-Qaeda members after the group announced the merger of its branches in Yemen and Saudi Araiba into the “al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.”
The new group, headed by Nasser al-Wahishi, former secretary of Osama bin Laden, is believed to have some 1,200 militants from both countries hiding in four desert provinces in north and east of Yemen.
