Yemeni authorities have foiled an al-Qaeda plot to seize control of two cities and an oil export terminal in Yemen and to kidnap foreigners, a government spokesman said Wednesday.
"The main aim of the plot was to seize control of two cities, Al-Mukalla and Ghayl Bawazeer," in southeastern Yemen, Rajeh Badi said, adding that oil export facilities near Mukalla were also to be targeted. Foreigners working at the terminal were to be kidnapped. (AFP)
