Two Britons jailed on terror charges are two be granted an early release in the next few weeks, official sources said in press remarks published in Yemen on Thursday. 

 

The sources told the 26 September weekly that arrangements for the release of Malek Nassir Herhera and Mohsin Ghailan were underway. 

 

The two men were among eight Britons convicted in 1999 on charges of plotting for attacks against western targets in Aden. They were both sentenced to seven years in prison.
