Ever wonder what happened to the two men Yemeni security forces captured back in August in a raid on an al-Qaeda safehouse in Tarim, which killed Hamza al-Qu’ayti and four other men? Well I have been wondering about this for a while, and thanks to 26th of September I finally have my answer.

It seems as if the two will be in court on March 11 along with 15 other suspects (another count has 14 other suspects) including 5 Syrians. I doubt if much information will be made public from their appearance, but it is nice to know where they are in the system.

More problems in Sa’dah, according to the MOI.
