Associated
Press - The president of Yemen has sent a message to his Iranian
counterpart calling on him to stop sending arms to Yemen and quit
supporting the southern separatist movement.
An official in the
office of President Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi said Thursday that the
message to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad went through diplomatic
channels earlier this week.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
Yemen's Defense Ministry said Wednesday that Yemeni authorities last
month seized a ship carrying a wide variety of Iranian-made weapons.
Yemen recently has witnessed several cases of illegal arms shipments
through its porous shores and also is home to an active branch of
al-Qaida, which staged several failed or foiled attacks on U.S.
territory
