Counter-terrorism authorities are reportedly hunting for a certain 16-year-old male from upper Yemen alleged of being hired by Al Qaeda to become a homicide bomber at one amongst five foreign targets located at the south port city of Aden, reported by Western sources near Yemeni safety officials.
Yemeni officials also assume that several members of Al Qaeda from the Arabian Peninsula, the wing of Al Qaeda that operates in Yemen along with Saudi Arabia, have been in Yemen lately, and therefore a vital terror group official is still hiding in Abyan, a Yemeni province located in southern Yemen.
