Yemen questions main suspect over political security attack

ADEN, Sep. 17 (Saba)-
The Specialized Penal Prosecution in Aden has started interrogations with the main
suspect
over a terrorist attack on the political security headquarters in Aden, a legal
source has announced.
Ghawdal Mohammad Saleh Naji is accused of planning and participating in leading the
attack on the Political Security headquarters in Aden in last June. In the attack,
al-Qaeda
gunmen killed at least 13 people and wounded another nine, including soldiers, women
and childern.
The source added that Naji confessed in the interrogation minutes that he financed
the attack operation with YR20 million (US$1=YR 215), which was part of the amount
he
got after a burglary which he carried out against the branch of the Arab Bank in Aden.
The source also noted that one of the suspects accused of attacking the political
security building, Mohammad Hilal Maghlas, was killed during an attack on the
political
security building in Abyan province.
The source further noted that the security services are still pursuing seven other
suspects.
After carrying out a successful qualitative and intelligence operation, the
security services managed to arrest the leader of the terrorist gang that carried
out the treacherous
attack against the political security building in Aden.
Ghawdal is considered one of the ex-offenders who conducted terrorist and criminal
acts, among which was an armed burglary which he carried out late last year against
the
branch of the Arab Bank in Aden and the theft of YR 100 million.
