SANAA — Yemen has arrested six Somalis, one suspected of having links with Al-Qaeda, the interior ministry announced on Thursday.

The arrests took place in Mokha, in the Red Sea province of Taez, a couple hundred kilometres (miles) from the Somali coast, a statement said.

One of the men, Nur Omar Warsamah, is suspected of ties to Al-Qaeda, and a computer and rubber stamps from a charitable organisation in Mogadishu were seized at his home.
