Yemeni president: We will resort to legal means in case Britain refuses to deliver Abu Hamzeh

Originally published January 30, 1999

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh stated that his country will resort to legal means of winning the delivery of Abu Hamzeh al-Masri for trail in Yemen.

He said that it is Yemen's right to demand the delivery of Abu Hamzeh, as Britain saw it as its right to receive the Libyan suspects in the Lockerbie incident.
