Awlaqi, who holds both Yemeni and US citizenship, and his relative, Othman al-Awlaqi, were both charged in absentia in a Sanaa court with "incitement to kill foreigners and members of security services." The charges arose during the trial of Hisham Mohammed Assem, a Yemeni, who was in the court on Tuesday to face charges of killing French energy contractor Jacques Spagnolo near Sanaa last month. Prosecutors told the court, which specialises in terrorism cases, that Awlaqi had corresponded with Assem for months, encouraging him to kill foreigners. All three men are also accused of "forming an armed gang to carry out criminal acts and to target foreigners and security forces on behalf of Al-Qaeda." Assem, who appeared in court with a light beard and wearing a loose-fitting light blue shirt and darker blue pants, denied the charges, said he was tortured and asked for a lawyer. The trial was adjourned until Saturday. The claims by the prosecutors bring renewed focus on Yemen, which is in the spotlight after two parcels addressed to Jewish institutions in Chicago and containing the explosive PETN hidden in ink toner cartridges were found to have been freighted from Sanaa on commercial airlines. Washington believes the parcel bombs, uncovered on Thursday in Britain and Dubai en route to the United States, are the work of Saudi militant Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, a suspected Al-Qaeda bombmaker. Awlaqi has not immediately been linked to the parcel bombs but US officials have long accused the cleric of instigating "terrorism" from Yemen, where he is believed to be hiding in a remote area of the Shabwa province controlled by his Awaliq tribe. In the wake of the scare, countries including Britain and Germany tightened air security measures, with London banning freight from Yemen and Berlin extending a ban on air freight from Yemen to cover passenger flights originating in the Arabian peninsula country. Yemen reacted with surprise, saying Tuesday it needed help not punishment. Prosecutors in the Sanaa court on Tuesday claimed Awlaqi had influenced Assem, a security guard, to gun down Spagnolo, a contractor working for energy group OMV, at the company's compound in Sanaa on October 6, the same day a British embassy car was targeted by a rocket attack that wounded one person. Assem was overpowered and arrested. At the time, OMV said it saw "no political background for the action taken by the Yemeni security guard" while the defence ministry said Assem had probably acted for personal reasons in what was a criminal matter. However, it stressed that the conclusions were preliminary. Earlier this year US President Barack Obama's administration authorised the targeted killing of Awlaqi. In a May video posted on the Internet, Awlaqi urged all Muslims serving in the US army to follow the example of Major Nidal Hasan -- an army psychiatrist -- accused of killing 13 comrades at Fort Hood base in Texas last November. "What Nidal Hasan did was heroic... and I call on all Muslims serving in the US army to follow his path," Awlaqi said in a video posted on jihadist websites, the US monitoring group SITE reported. In the video, posted by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), he also defended Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian student accused of the botched Christmas Day attack and said Sanaa is collaborating with Washington to attack Yemenis. US Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser John Brennan earlier this year accused Awlaqi of instigating "terrorism." "Mr. Awlaqi is a problem. He's clearly a part of Al-Qaeda in (the) Arabian Peninsula. He's not just a cleric. He is in fact trying to instigate terrorism," he told CNN.
