Yemeni Al Qaeda Suspect Says Lured to Go to Germany

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SANNA (Reuters) - A Yemeni Islamic cleric arrested in Germany for suspected al Qaeda links has said he was lured to travel there to receive a charitable donation from a U.S. Muslim, a state-run newspaper said on Thursday. Sheikh Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Mouyad, held along with an aide in Germany on a U.S. request last week, said he had been led to believe the U.S. Muslim man wanted to meet him to make a contribution, the September 26 weekly said. The cleric told Yemen's ambassador at a German detention center he had been told "he should travel to the United States or Germany to get the donation directly from the American." Sheikh Mohammed said he had met the American, identified only as Saeed, and received a check for a Muslim charity before being arrested, the weekly said. A Frankfurt court this week ordered the cleric and his aide, Mohammed Moshen Yahya Zayed, to be detained in custody pending a U.S. extradition request. U.S. authorities say the two are al Qaeda supporters, but have not linked them directly with the September 2001 attacks."
