Sana'a, Yemen  - Yemeni Police forces have arrested six members of an al-Qaeda cell who allegedly planned to carry out 12 terrorist attacks against oil installations, foreign interests and tourists in the Arab country, the state-run Saba news agency reported on Wednesday.

Quoting an Interior Ministry official source, the agency said the group was "entrusted with executing a dangerous criminal and terrorist plan."

The source said the group was linked to the suicide attack that killed four South Korean tourists in south-eastern Yemen on March 15 and a second attack that targeted South Korean investigators in Sana'a three days later. He said a manhunt was underway for other members of the group. (dpa)
