And not a shark, a vulture or a vegetable. Some progress.

Not a surprise at all. The muslim nation of Yemen felt it needed to capture a Jew and try him for a serious crime. When is it a crime to have another nation's security agency on one's laptop? Thank God we live, here, in the USofA. Yemen: Go shut the front door!
3. Israeli charged with espionage

If he was a working for the Mossad or... the Yemeni mukhabarat took him because of his Jewish or/and Israeli background: I don't know. But if the Israeli service used a citizen, with Yemeni background: it's good. I only hope that the man, a son or grandson of Yemeni parents or grandparents, used the Arabic dialect, spoken in that region. Since a long time I was asking myself why olim, from different countries in the whole world, didn't teach their children the language, especially the dialect, the habits and the culture of the country or region from where they were coming. In the first years the Mossad had almost everywhere a foot on the ground, especially in the Arabic-Islamic countries because they sent back olim to gather information. I also understand that the olim wanted to be real Israeli, using Hebrew as their new and only language. I know, in the Israeli schools, they learn the basic of the classical Arabic, but to mix yourself under them, you have to use their dialect and habits. But, after these meditations I sincerely hope the man can be saved. Shabath Shalom.
4. Israeli Charged in Yemen

To the Representatives of Yemen: Ali Abdul-Mohsen al-Himi al-Siaghi and Abraham al-Deri, were charged. To the nation of Yemen: The world's peoples are aware of your accusation against these two Israeli Citizens. We are also aware of the questionable justice that ensued. The evidence is not worthy of consideration. We believe that the charges are trumped-up charges just to arrest and convict Israelis.
