Sanaa - Five Britons and one man using a French passport arrested last month in Yemen and charged with planning an Islamic guerrilla campaign there will be put on trial on Wednesday, a Yemeni official said yesterday.
The men were arrested on December 24th on suspicion of links with Islamic extremists blamed for bombings in the southern port city of Aden and with a kidnap gang whose abduction of 16 Western tourists led to the deaths of three British hostages and an Australian last month.
