Two US defense lawyers have arrived in Yemen to talk to the parents of 13 Yemeni al-Qaeda suspects detained in the US military base in Guantanamo bay. The lawyers have been on a tour in a number of villages and talked to government officials in an effort to collect evidence and information to support their clients case. Sources said the two, David Raymiz [sp.] and Mark Falkouf [sp.], have been to Aden, Taiz, Ibb and Dhamar and talked to the families of the suspects and are trying to meet with the ministers of interior and foreign affairs as well as the attorney general. The lawyers scheduled a press conference on Friday night but was cancelled for unknown reasons amid speculation they were unable to meet with any government official.
