police forces to raise the level of alert, to remain vigilant, and to double
security presence around governmental institutions in the Yemeni capital of
Sana'a in anticipation of potential terrorist attacks targeting some sites in
it.
In a statement posted on the ministry of interior official website on
Wednesday, the ministry also stressed the importance of setting up more
checkpoints in the city with the aim to arrest those criminals who are on the
wanted list as well as stop suspected vehicles.
It has further instructed that constant supervision of guarding units
and the established checkpoints must take place regularly, urging all security
and police units to coordinate and work with the spirit of one team to be able
to foil any attack.
Sources close to the forces loyal to the former President Ail Abdullah
Saleh announced that they had information that indicated al-Qaeda's intentions
of carrying out attacks in the capital.
Security has deteriorated sharply in Yemen, especially in the southern
and southeastern provinces as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has expanded
its foothold and stepped up its attacks, taking an advantage of the current
unrest that has gripped the poor state for over a year.
