Its the same type of charges they brought against al Khaiwani but the world objected. They lie so often that its difficult to believe anything. Shaea is BFF with Anwar Awlaki and interviewed Fahd al Quso and Nassir al Wahishi, by itself, not a crime. We’ll have to see what the next magazine looks like.

The Security authority has accused Shai’a as being an active affiliate of al-Qaeda offering logistical support to the leadership and its members.
According to the security Shai’a offered cassettes from al-Qaeada operations in Yemen to the media and received money which he used to support the organization.
