(AP) A Norwegian citizen who became a member of al-Qaida in Yemen has been arrested in Yemen by the country’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels, Norwegian broadcaster NRK said Monday.
According to the report, Anders Cameroon Østensvig Dale is being held in a hospital in Sanaa. He is sought at home on suspicion of terrorism and was put on a blacklist by the United States.
Norwegian prosecutor Haris Hrenovica with the Norwegian security service PST said the suspect’s hospital detention “makes us believe that there is an injury.” It was unclear when and how he was apprehended and there was no immediate confirmation from the Houthis.
