Yemen seizes Turkish-made arms

Forces in Yemen seized a ship off Yemen\'s coast on Saturday carrying Turkish-made arms, Yemeni Supreme Security Committee said Sunday. The ship was intercepted as it entered territorial waters near Zoqar Island in the Red Sea. The seized weapons were planned to reach their destination inside the country after being unloaded in an island of the Hunish Archipelago via small boats and then to the Yemeni coasts, the official added. \"Investigation is still ongoing with the ship\'s crew,\" the source said, stressing the Supreme Security Committee would announce the investigation\'s findings to the public when completed. He expressed the Committee\'s gratitude for the Yemeni-Turkish security cooperation that has led to intercepting the ship. Yemen\'s armed forces have seized many arm shipments during the last two years. The recent and most eminent one was carried on the ship Jihan 1, which was intercepted off Yemen\'s coast on January 23. It was carrying a large cache of weapons, including surface-to-air missiles.
