Ahmad Shah Masood’s brother wants probe into “Lion” killing Related Topics World » SANAA | Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:25am EDT SANAA (Reuters) - The Yemeni wing of al Qaeda has claimed the August kidnapping of a senior intelligence official in the northern province of Saada and demanded the release of two imprisoned militants. Al Qaeda's Yemen branch, increasingly active in other parts of the country, had previously shown little presence in Saada province, center of a six-year conflict between Shi'ite rebels and the government that forced nearly 350,000 people to flee their homes. It was not possible to verify the claim. Ali al-Hosam, the deputy head of intelligence in Saada, was seized in August and authorities had no information on who was behind the abduction. "If the apostate government cares about its spies then the only way to discover the fate of this spy is through the release of our two...brothers within 48 hours," al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said in a statement posted on an Islamist website late on Monday. It did not make clear whether the captive was still alive or whether the group intended to kill him. The two al Qaeda members had been detained by rebels in Saada, who then handed them over to authorities, according to the statement. Around 200 protesters belonging to the tribe of the kidnapped official gathered in central Sanaa on Tuesday morning, calling on President Ali Abdullah Saleh to save his life. The latest round of the intermittent conflict between Sanaa and the northern Shi'ite rebels, known as the Houthis after their leaders' clan, ended in February with a ceasefire agreement since bolstered by a Qatari-mediated peace plan. Yemen, a neighbor of top oil exporter Saudi Arabia, became a global security concern after the regional arm of al Qaeda claimed responsibility for a botched bombing of a U.S.-bound airliner on December 25. Al Qaeda and the Yemeni government have clashed for many years, but confrontations are on the rise as the group stages increasingly bold attacks on international and domestic targets. On Monday, Yemen's Red Crescent said up to 12,000 civilians had fled their homes in the southern province of Shabwa in recent days because of heavy fighting between government forces and suspected al Qaeda militants.
