Seized in Dubai: 16,000 guns bound for Yemen
DUBAI: As Yemen plunged close to civil war, the UAE authorities seized a massive arms consignment of 16,000 guns bound for the strife torn nation.
The consignment worth $4.4 million were bound for Yemen's northern province of Saada, a Shia rebels' stronghold, Dubai police chief Lt Gen Dahi Khalfan Tamim said.
Six Arabs have been arrested by Dubai police who seized the pistols from a warehouse where the shipment was hidden by the gang, Khalfan said. He said the shipment came from Turkey and was to be sent to Yemen via another Gulf country. The gang's original plan did not work and following this, they took a detour to Dubai.
