Nabil Kenani Death Sentence Confirmed [Archives:1999/47/Local News]

The death sentence against the Spanish national of Syrian origin, Nabil Kenani was upheld in Aden on Saturday November the 20th.
Nabil Kenani had been convicted of bombing charges and was sentenced to death last year by firing squad for leading a group convicted of bombings in Yemen. He had contested the Aden court ruling and filed an appeal. Kenani still has 40 days to appeal Saturday’s ruling to the Supreme Court. Kenani had confessed that he planned to kill Yemeni Prime Minister Abdulkareem Al-Iryani and admitted to training other group members to carry out sabotage actions.
