Yemen (AP): Yemeni security officials say the country has released 170 suspected al-Qaida members from custody, less than two weeks after the terror group announced that Yemen has become a base for its regional activities.
The officials say the suspects were freed Friday and Saturday after signing pledges not to engage in terrorism. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not allowed to make statements to the media.
Last month, Saudi al-Qaida fugitives in Yemen and their Yemeni associates announced in an Internet video that they were joining forces.
Yemen says it also expects most of the 100 Yemenis still held in the American prison camp at Guantanamo to be sent home after President Barack Obama ordered the prison shut.
The HNIC is going to let these animals go and send them back to Yemen. I say, if we catch them again on the battle field, we just kill them.
