Almotamar.net - Head of the Information Office at the General People’s Congress (GPC), the ruling party in Yemen, Tareq al-Shamy has on Friday reiterated Yemen’s stand refusing any foreign interference, specifically American, in combating terror I Yemen.

Al-Shamy said the United States of America realises well that any interference would have reverse and negative results, making terror elements at a stronger stage that they were and there are experiences for America in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In his statement to Al-Arabiya TV Channel, al-Shamy affirmed the government in Yemen is the one capable of fighting elements of al-Qaeda organisation and chasing them and it has achieved big results during the past years and al-Qaeda elements in Yemen have actually been downsized.

What is required is there should be intelligence cooperation and exchange of information as well as support to develop the Yemeni security and military capabilities, particularly in technological areas, al-Shamy added.

He affirmed that elements of al-Qaeda organisation are working on developing their security ways and what happened of infiltrating through the security checkpoint by Farouq Omar Abdulmutalib was a bigger indication on development in ways of the terrorist elements related to going through security checkpoints and exchange of information.

On what the American media outlets mentioned lately about al-Qaeda in Yemen , al-Shamy said that mostly the American government sends messages to the American society and to the inside because it made of terror a large halo and because terror has become horrifying not just for the United States but for different countries in the world. He added that Yemen is working according to international legitimacy regarding the combating of terror and there is coordination between Yemen and the United States of America, the rest of world countries and the neighbouring countries and no country in the world can allege it is far from terrorism.

Al-Shamy indicated that there is media exaggeration of the role of al-Qaeda in Yemen. He expressed his hope that there would be actual international cooperation, not just in the security and military areas but in economic and investment areas as well.
