For those of you who have been closely following the reports out of Yemen lately it appears as though either A.) the al-Haniq family of Arhab is the most dangerous family in the world or B.) the entire composition of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is drawn from this family.

And, since we know that neither of those is true, Waq al-waq will, in our continuing series on Arhab, be taking a look at the family more in-depth later today, or as soon as I meet a deadline.

Also, one eagle-eyed reader draws my attention to the case of an al-Qaeda suspect from Arhab (not from the al-Haniq family) who was at the center of a kidnapping case not too long ago.
