INTENSIVE SURVEILLANCE ON YEMEN SEA AND LAND PASSAGES

SANA'A, Dec.12 (Saba) - Security has been tightened at Yemeni
land and sea exit and entry points amid major efforts to thwart
weapon trafficking.

The ministry of Interior directed the security authorities in all
governorates particularly those in coastal cities to intensify
surveillance at passages and coordinate with other forces to hunt
arms dealers and foil trafficking operations.

Suspected boats which pass near the country waters should be
detected as well, the ministry ordered.

Controlling the traditional weapon market has been affirmed as
police supervise exits and entries carefully. They intend to
eradicate this kind of trade which sank the whole community in
blood. Weapon trade played an enormous role in delaying the
development path in the country, because it is already a big
challenge to authorities.
