"Yemen Seizes Sailboat Filled With Weapons, and U.S. Points to Iran
By THOM SHANKER and ROBERT F. WORTH

WASHINGTON — The authorities in Yemen
have seized a boat in their territorial waters filled with a large
quantity of explosives, weapons and money, according to American
officials briefed on the interdiction. The officials said Monday that
there were indications that Iran was smuggling the military contraband to insurgents inside Yemen, although they declined to provide details.
Yemeni security forces halted and searched the sailboat, a 130-foot
dhow, last Tuesday and found the weapons in three large cargo rooms in
the hold, according to reports on the mission reaching Washington. There
was American support for the interdiction, officials said.
The government of Yemen confirmed the seizure Monday in an official
statement. The captured weapons included surface-to-air missiles used to
shoot down civilian and military aircraft, C4 military-grade
explosives, 122-millimeter shells, rocket-propelled grenades and
bomb-making equipment, including electronic circuits, remote triggers
and other hand-held explosives, the statement said.
If the weapons turn out to be the Iranian-made Misagh-2, as cited in the
reports from Yemen, it would reflect a significant increase in
lethality for the insurgents. Yemen is already awash with small arms and
explosives acquired over years of war and insurgency, much of it
brought in from a number of foreign sources through its poorly
controlled ports. There has been little effort to regulate the supply —
one governor of a northern province is also a major arms dealer — and
insurgents have often raided the stores of Yemen’s corrupt and divided
military. Many of Yemen’s unruly tribes command powerful arsenals. "
Lasten skulle förmodligen till Yemen och troligen för att förse rebeller som finns där och som säkerligen gladeligen skulle ta emot denna last.
Yemen är på grund av sitt långvariga interna stridande med rebeller, rätt utarmade, då det gäller vapen och sitt "explosiva förråd".
