Yemen says Al-Qaida recruiting bomb makers from Pakistan
SANAA: At least seven suspected militants from Saudi Arabia were among the alleged al-Qaida members killed in Yemen in a recent wave of U.S. drone strikes, senior Yemeni officials said Friday, suggesting that Saudis are increasingly crossing the border to carry funds or seek terrorist training.
"Al-Qaida is especially recruiting tech-savvy and well-educated Saudis," one of the senior security officials said.
He added that the terror group also is bringing in Pakistanis, who are explosives experts. He cited Ragaa Bin Ali a Pakistani bomb maker who was killed in a drone strike.
