SANAA, Oct 6: Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh announced on Monday the dismantling of a “terrorist cell” which he said was linked to Israeli intelligence services.
Saleh gave no details but sources close to the investigation said he was apparently referring to a six-member cell arrested on suspicion of involvement in a deadly attack against the US embassy in the Yemeni capital last month.
A terrorist group was arrested five days ago and will be referred to the judicial authorities for its links with the Israeli intelligence services, Saleh was quoted as saying by the official Saba news agency.
He said the group operated under the “slogan of Islam.”—AFP
