U.S. officials have said they believed it was the Yemen group. The claim was reported by the private SITE Intelligence Group.
However there is a bit of history that many have either overlooked or simply missed. This isn't the first time Al-Qaeda has been in the news regarding Yemen.
Sana'a, Yemen - A Yemeni state security court on Saturday ordered the 'forcible arrest' of US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, wanted by the United States for links to al-Qaeda.
Asiri is beleived to be the bomb maker of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). He is the main suspect in a plot to get parcel bomb packages onto US-bound cargo planes.
Al-Awlaki has been connected to a failed Christmas airline bombing over Detroit and killings at a US army base at Fort Hood, Texas.
He is believed to have links to the AQAP, the Yemeni wing of al-Qaeda.

Yeah, right. Al-Qaeda is SO co-operative with the US government, what a coincidence!!
They turn up just before elections with their videos to create fear which helps the President, and now that TPTB can see how few people believe their BS about suspect packages from Yemen, up AQ pops again.
When did terrorists become so co-operative.
Al-CIAda strikes again.
It just so happens Anwar Al-Awlaki, the so called leader of "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ", has been a guest at the Pentagon. lol.. he was there getting his orders probably.

This whole war on terror is a low budget b-movie farce.. the CIA needs better script writers.

The only defendant present in court was Hisham Mohammed Assim, a security guard who is accused of killing a Frenchman and injuring a Briton in a shooting spree at the offices of the Austrian OMV energy firm in Sana'a last month.
Assim rejected any connections to al-Qaeda or al-Awlaki, saying he was tortured by interrogators.
'I have had personal reasons (for the killing),' Assim told judges during the hearing attended by journalists.
Asked what was his motive for the killing, Assim refused to explain.

I hope you’re not implying that I had only read the part that I quoted. Assim can deny it and claim to have been tortured all he likes but if he had explained his reasons for the attack then that would have been helpful. He's only making it worse for himself. I agree that it is stupid to claim that each and every loony has al-Qaeda connections, but not all of the necessary information has been released to enable us to ascertain whether or not Assim has.
If you expected to be found guilty of something so serious then I'm sure you would make an attempt at not being physically present also, perhaps that is why no-one else has decided to show up.
