UK Embassy Bomber Arrested [Archives:2001/08/Local News]

Security sources revealed that police arrested another suspect in connection with the UK embassy bombing and other terrorist acts. Interior Minister Hussein Arab said in press statements that the arrested man is suspected of bombing the UK embassy in Sana’a and of involvement with other terrorist explosions in Aden earlier this year. Arab added that investigations into the suspect are going on and that his file will be presented to the prosecution very soon. Also, the case files of the USS Cole suicide bombing will be transferred to the prosecution in the coming few days as investigations have been completed.
Meanwhile, Sana’a South-West court delayed the trial of Mohammed Ali Al-Jahili, the suspected bomber of the UK embassy just 24 hours after the Cole bombing which killed 17 and injured 37 American navy sailors on October, 12, 2000. The judge, Mohammed Mahdi Al-Raimi, attended the session but the suspect was not brought to court by the police. The trial, supposed to start last Wednesday, was postponed and the judge did not set a new date for the trial.
