Men were freed after signing pledges not to engage in terrorism.
SAN’A, Yemen – Yemen released 170 men it had arrested on suspicion of having ties to al-Qaida, security officials said Sunday, two weeks after the terror group announced that Yemen had become the base of its activities for the whole Arabian peninsula. The announcement also comes as government forces say they are poised to sweep through the northern city of Marib to combat an entrenched al-Qaida presence that includes both Yemenis and Saudis.
On Saturday, Saudi Arabia issued a list of 85 most wanted living abroad that included two Yemenis. Many of the Saudis on the list are suspected of hiding out in Yemen as well.

I don’t get any of this…in Yemen, Gitmo, or anywhere else… We spend money and time to catch these bad people, and then we let them go because people feel sorry for them. Now we can create more jobs by having to hunt them down again. Or maybe, the Governments want some people to die at the hands of these men, so the population will be smaller and more scared, and thus easier to control in the long run…
