SANA'A, Yemen, June 15 (UPI) -- Yemeni authorities broke up an al-Qaida ring operating in two provinces, a security source told the Saba news agency.
The ring was operating in Sana'a and Mareb provinces, and was plotting fresh terrorist attacks, Saba quoted the source -- who sought anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media -- as saying. The ring was responsible for previous attacks in Yemen, Saba said.
The operation came only days after the arrest of Hassan Hussein bin al-Wan, a Saudi national who arranged financing for al-Qaida in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen. He was caught in Mareb not far from Sana'a.
The source said the bin al-Wan investigation led to the breakup of the ring.
