Sanaa says no meeting took place between Bin Laden and Yemeni scientists

An official source in the Yemeni government denied today newspaper reports regarding a meeting held in Qandahar, Afghanistan between Osama Bin Laden and a delegation of Yemeni scientists under the chairmanship of Sheikh Omar Seif. The source said that this report has nothing to do with truth, and that it comes from circles that try to defame Yemen's image, faking facts in order to abuse Yemen and its regional and international relations.
