Yemeni Court, specialized in the cases of terrorism and state security, is expected to issue its verdict today in the trail of Yemeni journalist and Al-Qaeda expert Abdul Elah Haidar, and his friend, Abdel Karim Al-Shami.
The prosecution claims that journalist Abdul Elah Haidar over the last three years participated in an armed illegal gang and is working for Al-Qaeda.
The prosecutor also said that Haidar used to publish false statements through numerous media outlets in order to promote Al-Qaeda. They claim that he is damaging public interest and harming public peace.
Other accusations against Haidar were that he had commonly worked as a media head for cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki.
Haidar in all of his previous sessions denied charges against him, demanding to try his kidnappers, as he said, who took him forcedly from his house.
Security forces raided the neighborhood of the journalist Haidar, broke into his house on the evening of Monday, August 16, 2010 , arrested him and took him to an unknown destination which is likely to be the headquarter of the national security.
