According to Yemen Post sources, Arhab tribesmen have been abducted the Japanese engineer, Yu Mchmio, 63 years, to pressure the Yemeni government to release a member of the tribe who belongs to Al-Qaeda and detained in prison four years ago. Hussein Abdullah Hussein fought with Al-Qaeda for two years in Iraq and settled in Syria for a year and another year in Lebanon. He was arrested on his return from Iraq 4 years ago. The prisoner belongs to Zendan district- Arhab tribe.

Yemen Post exclusively met with Arhab tribesmen close to those who kidnapped a Japanese Engineer and was told that the Japanese citizen will not be released until their demands are met.
