Arrested Yemeni al-Qaida suspects face German court

Two Yemenis suspected of belonging to Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network and arrested in Germany as part of a joint US-German terrorism investigation are to appear before a judge today, prosecutors in Frankfurt said.

German officials said the pair were arrested early Friday at a hotel near Frankfurt’s international airport and were sought by the United States as influential al-Qaida members.
