SANAA, May 22 (KUNA) -- A Yemeni official affirmed here on Saturday that
Yemen's war against terrorism would not stop, whether through direct
confrontation or through intelligence work that was able to stop several
operations before they occur.
Director of the Presedential office, and Yemen's national security chief
Ali Al-Ansi considered the "failed" terrorism operation that targeted the
British Ambassador in Sanaa as a failure to Al-Qaeda in Yemen, describing them
as "useless".
He added that Yemeni forces have captured many Al-Qaeda militants, and
their testimonies would be made public after completion of investigations.
Al-Ansi said in an interview published in "Al-Methaq" newspaper issued by
the General People's Congress "The security services will continue to
prosecute Anwar Awlaqi to surrender voluntarily or be arrested to stand trial."
"Yemen will not be a haven for terrorists, bandits, and advocates of
ignorance, and will remain an active part of the world alliance against
terrorism wherever it exists," Al-Ansi said.
Yemen, he added, "will not budge our relations with all countries in this
area, including Britain and the US, but it impose greater coordination and
cooperation to uproot terrorism, for the sake of the nation and the world."
