Al-Ahmar denies imprisonment of two of his children

Sources close to the speaker of the Yemeni parliament, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Hussein al-Ahmar, stressed that the news which stated that the attorney general ordered the imprisonment of two of his children for investigation on Sunday is wrong, noting that two children for Sheikh al-Ahmar are held by the ministry of the interior as an implementation for the directives of the Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh who interfered quickly to eliminate the unrest created as a result of this incident.

These sources stressed the special relation linking Sheikh al-Ahmar to President Ali Abdullah Saleh and other national symbols. The sources considered that the inability of the ministry of the interior to carry out its responsibility and to maintain security and stability exaggerated the "clashes incident."
