Yemeni authorities arrested Monday a Saudi Arabian suspected of being an Al Qaeda member, who entered the Yemen Republic secretly, a security official said on Wednesday. 

 

Ghanem al-Malki was arrested in the border outpost of Hardh after entering Yemen illegally with the assistance of two Yemenis, the source said. 

 

Yemen's interior ministry ordered Malki and the two Yemenis, who could be imprisoned for a year, to be taken to Sanaa where they will appear before a judge, according to the source. (Albawaba.com)
