Yemen: Gitmo alumni and AQ's Number 2 arrested - after auto accident.
Hah! We may have missed him with the predator drones but Yemeni authorities have nabbed him in a car crash. I'm loving it...
<---Said Ali al-Shihri
From Xinhua.net:
Yemeni security forces on Monday captured al-Qaida No. 2-in-command in the Arabian Peninsula, Said Ali al-Shihri, in southern Yemen, the Interior Ministry said.
The senior al-Qaida leader in Yemen was arrested along with another militant identified as S. Lamankib in the southern province of Shabwa, the ministry in a statement posted on its website.
The arrests came after the car of the two al-Qaida militants had been involved in an automobile accident on a highway in the Asailan district in Shabwa, said the statement. "They were rushed to the hospital and put under guard," it said.
In other al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula news - fresh threats against the US are issued. (I wonder if the Obama administration will pay attention to these?)
"The duty of our Muslim nation is to declare jihad against the infidels and their agent helpers, not only on the ground, but in the sea and air as well as their Crusader warships in the Gulf of Aden," according to the statement. "As they declared it to be an open war on the people of Islam, we must declare an open war against [them]."

I-75 Closed After Huge Explosion
For those of you who Know the Area , this is a bad spot to be closed down ! of all the places I have lived this is right up there with the busiest ! The main artery in and out of Detroit for thousands of drivers everyday ! A simple fender bender can screw this section of freeway up for Hours ! A collapsed bridge literally months of Hell !
....
HAZEL PARK, Mich. (WXYZ) - The damage is being assessed at 9 Mile Road and I-75 after Wednesday night's massive tanker explosion in Hazel Park.
Northbound and Southbound I-75 is shut down in both directions from 8 mile to I-696 and will remain closed until further notice.
Three vehicles were involved in the accident – the tanker truck, a Meijer semi-truck and a car. The tanker was carrying more than 13,000 gallons of gas and approximately 4,000 gallons of diesel when it exploded right under the 9 Mile overpass.
The intense heat of the explosion forced the overpass to collapse onto the freeway below as hundreds of people watched, stunned by what was happening.
Amazingly, no one was killed. Three people were taken to Beaumont hospital with non-life threatening injuries. They were the 44-year-old tanker driver Michael St. John of Armada, the 38-year-old driver of the Meijer truck Jody Cicero of Monroe, and the 27-year-old driver of the car Saied Haidarian-Shahri of Clawson. All three have been released from the hospital.
Police tell Action News Haidarian-Shahri may have lost control of the vehicle and hit the tanker.
