Me? I thought you had the bomb
The government of Yemen is fairly duplicitous. Many statements it issues are propaganda and wholly or partially untrue, whether it is statistics (unemployment figures), reforms (anti-corruption campaigns), or counter-terror efforts (like the idiotic bogus trumped-up terror charges against the journalist al-Khaiwani).
So this anonymous security official's statement is either a) garbage designed for Western consumption or b) another case of, "Woops, I forgot the bomb in the taxi."

SANAA (AFP) - Yemen security forces on Tuesday seized explosives in a taxi in the southern city of Aden, a week after seven Spanish tourists and two Yemenis were killed by a suicide bomber.
The taxi driver told police that two men who hired his vehicle on Monday had left behind TNT explosives, detonators and a gallon of petrol, a security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Security has been tightened around government buildings and Western interests in Yemen, he added.
