Remember This ?

The seven men, as well as the bomber, had all been arrested for suspected al Qaeda ties following the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. targets, but were released after two years in prison, according to the officials.

And if Yemen would have had the Balls back then to just kill them or put them away for life they would not be dealing with these Douchbags Again !

But there you go , This is what happens , And if it does not 100% make the Case for just killing these guys when they are caught , Nothing will !



(Reuters) - Yemeni police arrested dozens of al Qaeda suspects in sweeps a day after a suicide bomber tried to kill Britain's ambassador to Yemen, security officials said Tuesday.

At the 22-year-old bomber's home near Sanaa, his father told Reuters that he condemned his son's actions and that he had tried to get him to marry and find a job, before the young man went missing around six weeks ago.

Othman Ali al-Sulwi, who wore an explosive belt when he threw himself at a convoy taking Ambassador Tim Torlot to work Monday, had spent two years in prison before being released at the start of this year, his father said.

"I deplore and condemn this act in all its forms," the father said, adding that he had reported his son's disappearance to the authorities, who began a search for him.

Sulwi's attack "bore the hallmarks of al Qaeda," Yemen's interior ministry said Monday.

Among those taken into custody, the officials said, were seven Yemenis who had close relations with Sulwi.

The seven men, as well as the bomber, had all been arrested for suspected al Qaeda ties following the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. targets, but were released after two years in prison, according to the officials.

Yemen has been battling al Qaeda and other militant groups eroding its stability for years. The group's regional wing, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is based in Yemen and has previously threatened and attacked embassies.

It has carried out a number of attacks on international targets, including the bombing in 2000 of the USS Cole in Aden harbor, which killed 17 sailors.

Last August, it sent a suicide bomber posing as a repentant militant to Saudi Arabia, where he narrowly failed to kill the kingdom's anti-terrorism chief, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.

Nayef was not seriously hurt in the attack.
