Yemen refuses to release eight persons accused of terrorism

The Yemeni attorney general has refused the request raised by the lawyers of the eight Britons and two Algerians who have been on trial in Aden under accusations of "terrorism" to free their clients. The judge postponed study of the issue until Tuesday. The ten suspects were accused on charges that leader of "Ansar al-Sharea" organization Abu Hamzeh al-Masri, who takes Britain as his residence, sent these ten persons to Yemen to strike at British and American targets.
