Yemeni Protesters Demand US Military Leave [WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK]
HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK --- Yemen Protesters Want U.S. Ties Cut By AHMED AL-HAJ : Associated Press Writer Apr 26, 2002 : 9:12 pm ET SAN'A, Yemen (AP) -- Yemeni police dispersed about 2,000 anti-American demonstrators who called on their government Friday to break diplomatic ties with the United States. The protesters gathered following noon prayers in the capital, San'a, and began to march on the U.S. Embassy, but police blocked their path. Demonstrations against the United States and Israel also took place in Jordan, Bahrain and Egypt. The Yemeni protesters carried signs that read We ask for the expulsion of American military experts doing anti-terrorism work. Organizers distributed a statement in the name of Supporters of Palestine that condemned Yemen's cooperation with the United States in security matters and the U.S. training of Yemeni military and anti-terrorism units. The statement asked for the U.S. Embassy to be closed, its ambassador to be expelled and for the recall of Yemen's ambassador to the United States. Yemen and the United States are cooperating in a number of security fields, including training and the exchange of intelligence information. The United States is helping Yemen to modernize its immigration computer system. Security in Yemen, a poor nation at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula, has been a top concern of the United States since the attack on the destroyer USS Cole in October 2000 that killed 17 American sailors in Aden harbor. U.S. investigators believe the al-Qaida terrorist group was responsible for both the Cole bombing and the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington. Yemen's government has said there may be members of al-Qaida in the country, but says their number is limited. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
