Yemen

A court sentenced six members of an al Qaeda cell to death after they were convicted of conducting 13 terrorist attacks since 2007. Ten others were sentenced to terms of between eight and 15 years. The cell was behind the murder of nine Spanish and Belgian tourists, the attack on the US embassy in Sanaa, and other strikes.
