Opposition wants US ambassador expelled [Archives:2002/16/Local News]

BY YEMEN TIMES STAFF
A leading Yemens opposition party has demanded the government expel the American Ambassador to Yemen, Edmund Hull.
According to al-Ray Alam newspaper, Hull is arrogant and interferes in Yemen’s internal affairs, and he also is a sponsor of anti-Arab and Islamic policies.
Hizam al-Atwani, head of the political division of the Nasserite Unionist Party, said, the joint meetings of political parties demanded breaking off political and economic relations between Arab countries and the United States.
The opposition leader suggested that the government should open offices for recruiting Mujahideen, also known as Islamic holy warriors.
The Al-Mithaq newspaper, mouthpiece of the ruling party, similarly accused on April 8 the US ambassador of interfering in Yemen’s internal affairs and warned that he would be an unwanted person in Yemen.
US Department of State declared last week that 150 American soldiers will be deployed in Yemen shortly to work as trainers and advisors for the Yemeni army in its anti-terror campaign.
