Yemen and Saudi Arabia are soon to exchange 18 suspects, according to a report published on Thursday. 

 

Yemen's 26 September weekly quoted an official of the Interior Ministry as saying that Saudi Arabia would extradite 13 Yemenis to Yemen and that Yemen would extradite 5 Saudis to the Kingdom.  

 

Most of the Yemenis were detained over terrorist acts and one of them is described as a "dangerous terrorist," while the Saudis are wanted by Riyadh, in connection with different security cases, the official added.
