They are harboring this man, one Mohammed Hussein Sharab. He is an al-Qaeda recruiter who is very active in Iraq. So while it seems that NPR and this professor can find him easy enough the Yemeni authorities are turning a blind eye. Jane at Armies of Liberation has a transcript.NPR: Islamic studies expert Bernard Haykel recently spent two days talking with a known Yemeni jihadi about his recruiting tactics. The man had just returned from Iraq.Also see In The Bullpen.Prof. HAYKEL: If you like. I don’t think he’s hiding it and it’s well known to the American authorities as well as to the Yemenis. His name is Mohammed Hussein Sharab(ph) and his photograph is hanging inside the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa as a wanted man…. … Oh, yeah. And very specifically, he was the one who handled two attackers who blew up the United Nations offices in Baghdad.
Mark adds this interesting tidbit relating to the bombers this man recruited.
The carbomber later admitted he was one of Zarqawi's top VBIED makers (he's now in custody) and the bomb used Iraqi military ordinance for the detonation. Powerful stuff.I listen to NPR every day and I’m a bit miffed at them this week. They ran a week long series on terrorist propaganda and how it works. Ok that’s good. But Inskeep cannot hide his sympathies very well. And this morning one of the staff reporters was almost shaking at the idea that the US might use propaganda to help home front morale. Ted when you get there you need to put a foot up a few asses. I know they are liberal but they try to be somewhat objective most of the time. They've been slipping lately.Anyway, I didn’t think that detail would make its way into the interview .... and it didn't.

So now an Al Qaida recruiter who believes in their ideology, or must since he is selling that ideology, wears a hat of a company that is viewed to support Israel and the destruction of Palestine.

The guy he recruited was involved in a joint Baathist/al Qaeda mission: carbombing UN headquarters early in the war in 2003.
The carbomber later admitted he was one of Zarqawi's top VBIED makers (he's now in custody) and the bomb used Iraqi military ordinance for the detonation. Powerful stuff.
