Al-Qaida suspects extradited to US

Germany has extradited two Yemenis to the United States on charges that they supported the al-Qaida terrorist network, prosecutors in Frankfurt said.

The two men, Sheikh Ali Hassan al-Moayad and his alleged assistant, Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed, were picked up on Sunday by American officials and flown out of the Rhine-Main Air Base near Frankfurt by the US Air Force, said a spokeswoman for Frankfurt prosecutors.
