                  Yemen Offers Reward for Tip-Offs on Jail Escapees

                  SANAA, 15 February 2006 - Yemen announced yesterday a 
five-million-rial ($25,600) reward for information about any of the 23 Al-Qaeda 
operatives who have escaped from a heavily guarded jail in Sanaa earlier this 
month.

                  The 23 men dug a tunnel out of their prison at headquarters 
of the intelligence services in the southern Sanaa suburb of Hadda on Feb. 3.

                  The Interior Ministry has allocated a telephone number for 
information about the fugitives and assured the public that it guarantees the 
highest degree of confidentiality for those providing tip-offs, the Saba news 
agency reported.

                  Among the escapees were 13 men convicted in the 2000 bombing 
of the US destroyer USS Cole and the 2002 attack on the French oil tanker 
Limburg off Yemen.

                  A report posted on a website run by the Defense Ministry 
disclosed yesterday new details about the tunnel through which the detainees 
fled.

                  The report said the men dug a 44-meter-long tunnel from their 
cell to a nearby mosque. The prisoners used steel food pots and cooking tools 
to dig their way out of the jail. They first dug three meters down from their 
cell floor and then continued toward the mosque, digging a tunnel measuring 60 
by 80 centimeters.

                  In the aftermath of the jailbreak, Yemen issued international 
arrest warrants and asked the Interpol to help trace and arrest them.

                  Special anti-terrorism units have been since launching raids 
on houses in Sanaa and other cities in search for the jail breakers, and around 
200 of their relatives and friends had been detained for interrogation, 
security officials said.

                  Listed among the fugitives was the second main convict in the 
USS Cole bombing, Jamal Al-Badawi. He had been serving a 15-year jail term. 
Four other convicts in the attack serving jail terms from four to 10 years also 
fled the prison.

                  The suspected mastermind of the attack, Abdul-Raheem 
Al-Nashri, was tried in absentia and sentenced to death. He is reportedly in 
the custody of US authorities.

                  Also among the fugitives was Fawaz Al-Rabyee, whom a state 
security court sentenced to death in August 2004 after convicting him of 
leading a 14-member group linked to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network
