Zindani says US to occupy Yemen
Abdulmajid al Zindani, a radical Islamist cleric with close ties to both al Qaeda and the Yemeni government, claimed the US is going to occupy Yemen and confiscate its oil. Zindani has been designated a terrorist financier by the UN's 1267 Committee and labeled a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the US Treasury for serving as a spiritual adviser to bin Laden and as an al Qaeda financier and recruiter.
