Al-Qaeda Saudi national surrenders to Yemen

SANA'A, June 18 (Saba) - A Saudi al-Qaeda elements has surrendered
himself to the security forces in the country, military-run 26
September reported on Thursday.

A security source told the weekly that the man is called Naif Duhais
Yahya al-Harbi, noting that investigations are underway.

The investigation with al-Harbi led to significant information well
assist to reach to other al-Qaeda men, the source said.

Interior Ministry announced last Sunday arresting a man, who is the
financer for al-Qaeda in Yemen and Saudi Arabia called Hasan Hessian
Bin Alwan, a Saudi national.

The man, who is the financer of al-Qaeda operations in Yemen and
Saudi Arabia, was the most dangerous and wanted man in al-Qaeda,
security sources said then.

Earlier, Yemen has refuted media reports that al-Qaeda fighters were
relocating from tribal areas along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border
to Yemen.

A Yemeni official described such reports as unfounded, adding that
all information that al-Qaeda fighters and leaders are taking
advantage of the political status in Yemen and Somalia is totally
untrue because Yemen has not been and will never be a suitable
destination for al-Qaeda.

The security forces in Yemen are making never-ending efforts to
crack down terrorists, and progress has been proved in the fight
against terrorism in the country, the official said.

Yemen's security apparatus has captured many terrorists, and others
handed themselves in to the authorities, with some terrorist rings
going on trials on terrorist charges.

Yemen does not like others to achieve some benefits through
misinformation and false accusations.

Earlier, the US said that al-Qaeda militants were moving into the
African Horn, particularly to Somalia and Yemen, attributing the
moves to drone intensified attacks against al-Qaeda along the
border.
