Minister: Al Qaeda suffers from organizational disarray in Yemen

SANA'A, July 25
(Saba) - Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al Qirbi has said Al-Qaeda in Yemen is suffering
from organizational
disarray as it has turned to targeting economic and security facilities.
He also said the manhunt for the U.S. cleric from Yemeni origin, Anwar al Awlaki,
is continuing and assured the national security systems are tracking weapon and
financial
sources of the AQAP.
Yemen never coordinates with the tribe of the man, designated by the United States
as leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula AQAP, in Shabwa to arrest him, said
al
Qirbi as he affirmed that the tribe rejects terrorist acts that harm the interest of
the country.
The remarks were given in an interview with the Khaleej newspaper.
He also highlighted the situation in the south saying the separation calls have no
future and former Vice President Ali Salim al Beidh is playing a negative role in
southern
and eastern regions.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh has called for a national comprehensive dialogue with
all political forces inside and outside the country, except those seeking the
separation
of the south, he made clear.
In this context, al Qirbi said the minute recently signed by the General People's
Congress, the ruling party, and the Joint Meeting Parties JMP represented a hope
for lifting
the country from the political impasse and taking it to the legislative elections
set for 27 April 2011.
