Yemen

The father of a sailor murdered in the USS Cole terrorist attack is calling for Yemen to be classified as a state sponsor of terrorism. In an open letter, Gary Swenchonis Sr. asks Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh to re-imprison his son’s killers. Those convicted received light sentences have escaped from Yemeni jails or have had their sentences commuted.
