Almotamar.net - SANA'A- Deputy Minister of Interior Rashad al-Masri said Yemen has seen 30 terror acts and 50 violent crimes since 2000, adding security authorities foiled such acts and arrested perpetrators as well as terrorist groups who had been referred to justice.
Al-Masri noted Yemen adopted two measures in fighting against terrorism, the first of which being intellectual dialog with those who intended to carry out terrorist acts, while the other way is to follow and arrest those involved in such crimes, with taking strict measures against them. These measures succeeded in limiting terrorist acts, he added.
This came during a workshop on activating international conventions on counter-terrorism and putting them into effect. Al-Masri further noted that Yemen has ratified most of the counter-terrorism convention and enacted new laws to fight against terrorism by establishing the penal court, penal prosecution, national security apparatus, anti-terrorism apparatus.

Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
