The move came on the day global police agency Interpol issued an alert aimed at helping forces in its member states spot disguised bombs of the kind Al-Qaeda sent last week from Yemen using airmail parcel couriers. Judge Mohsen Alwan called on prosecutors to "forcibly arrest" Anwar al-Awlaqi and a relative, Othman al-Awlaqi, whom a Sanaa court has charged with "incitement to kill foreigners and members of security services." Public prosecutor Ali al-Samet told the court the pair had failed to appear for a second time on Saturday before the court specialising in terrorism cases. The charges against them arose during the trial of Yemeni Hisham Mohammed Assem, who faces charges of killing French energy contractor Jacques Spagnolo near the capital Sanaa last month. All three men are accused of "forming an armed gang to carry out criminal acts and to target foreigners and security forces on behalf of Al-Qaeda." The prosecution told the court at Tuesday's first hearing that Yemeni-US cleric Awlaqi had corresponded with Assem for months, encouraging him to kill foreigners. Assem, who had said he was tortured, denied the charges on Saturday, saying he killed Spagnolo over a personal feud and not after incitement by Awlaqi. The judge also ordered the public prosecutor to provide Anwar and Othman al-Awlaqi with legal representation before adjourning the trial until next Tuesday. Hours after last Tuesday's hearing, suspected Al-Qaeda militants attacked an oil pipeline run by the Korea National Oil Corp in the southeastern Shabwa province controlled by Awlaqi's tribe. The attack came just days after intercepted parcel bombs destined for Chicago synagogues were traced to Yemen, placing Sanaa under renewed pressure to crackdown on Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The parcels containing the powerful explosive PETN hidden in ink toner cartridges were found to have been sent by air freight from Sanaa on commercial airlines. US intelligence believes the parcel bombs, intercepted in Dubai and Britain, were the work of Saudi militant Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, thought to be a senior member of AQAP. It has claimed responsibility for the parcel bombs which triggered global security alerts. The latest alert was issued on Saturday by Interpol which said it has sent an "Orange Notice" to its 188 member states containing photographs and technical details of the parcel bombs. "The information contained in this Orange Notice will allow police services and other law enforcement agencies to take all appropriate measures to identify potentially lethal devices," Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said. "Given that these devices were hidden inside what appeared to be normal packages, an unrestricted version of the Orange Notice has also been published by Interpol," he said in a statement. The intercepted bombs were packed into printer cartridges and attached to timers. Awlaqi has not immediately been linked to the parcel bombs, but American officials have long accused him of instigating "terrorism" from Yemen, where he is believed to be hiding in a remote area of Shabwa. In April, a US official said the administration of President Barack Obama had authorised the targeted killing of Awlaqi, after US intelligence agencies concluded he was directly involved in anti-US plots. In July, Washington placed Awlaqi on its list of terrorism supporters, freezing his financial assets and banning any transactions with him.
