Al-Qaeda in Yemen Western-made, says Yemeni PM | Yemeni Prime Minister Ali Muhammed al-Mujawar has accused that al-Qaeda was originally a Western-made group and was never created by his country, according to the state-run Saba news agency. Mujawar made his
remarks during a meeting in Sanaa with ambassadors of Asian and African countries
to Yemen, to clarify the country’s stance against those who propagated negative
impacts on Yemen over the bomb parcels shipped to the United States last week.
"Al-Qaeda was essentially a Western-made group and was never created by Yemen, it is alleged by those who seek to propagate this view internationally about
Yemen ," English.news.cn quoted Mujawar, as saying. He also called on the international
community to support his government's continuing efforts to fight al-Qaida regional
wing. On Friday, the Yemen- based al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had
claimed responsibility for the bomb parcels that targeted the United States .
The group also said that it was responsible for bringing down an American cargo
plane in Dubai on September 3 this year, adding that it would continue to target
the US and its allies. Yemen has reportedly been exerting efforts to curb terrorist
groups, which raised international security concerns again after two parcel bombs
were found on U.S.-bound cargo flights from the Arabian Peninsula country last
week.
