Yet another Yemeni connection

It is becoming increasingly apparent that Yemin is taking over from Afghanistan as "Terrorist Central." The Times Square Bomber, the Christmas Tree Bomber, the Parcel Bombs case, and the Fort Hood shooter all have ties to Yemin and to the rogue cleric Alwaki, who has made it onto the CIA's license-to-kill list.

(U) According to the plea agreement, Ali admitted that beginning in about 1987, he conspired with others to act as an unregistered agent of the Government of Yemen, and that he received instructions and acted on behalf of the Armed Forces Department of the Republic of Yemen. Ali admitted that he took official actions on behalf of the Yemeni Government in Kern County, and that among other things, he issued
documents in 2002 ordering the arrest of a person upon his return to Yemen. Ali also admitted in the plea agreement that in 2003 he had conspired with another person to cause various defense articles to be exported to Yemen without a license, including bullet proof vests and chemical protective suits. Finally,Ali admitted in his plea agreement that in late 2005 and early 2006, he negotiated with an undercover FBI
agent to obtain and ship to Yemen materials that he believed were stolen US military equipment,including night vision goggles, satellite telephones and laptop computers.
(U) A US Attorney stated, “The Joint Terrorism Task Force and their allies in local law enforcement did a tremendous job in this case."
