Get Out of Jail Free Week continues in Yemen
In addition to the 23 escapees who dug their way out of jail with a spoon and al-Waeli, supplier of weapons to the Cole bombers, there have been additonal releases of al-Qaeda affiliated individuals in Yemen. Note: I am waiting for secondary confirmation of the following:
The PSO released 22 prisoners from its prison in Aden last week. On Thursday, four persons “well known as terrorists” were released from Abyan prison. Yesterday 15 individuals were released from al-Baida prison including three well known AQ affiliates including someone named Naseeb.
On the bright side, they managed to recapture an escaped lion.
Ok, its not funny. Really Im quite concerned, not about all the terrorists on the loose, although we all should be, but more about the US reaction. Lately Saleh has been acting like an axis-of-evil wannabe and I think this time he may have gone too far.
