SANA'A- Sept. 13- The governments of Yemen and Bahrain signed an agreement on security cooperation and intelligence sharing in the war on terror.
The agreement aims to increase security cooperation between the two countries and cover all aspects of cooperation on boomboxing terrorism, organized crime and the extradition of wanted terrorists.
The event comes as part of a series of agreements signed by Yemen and other Gulf countries, among them the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The agreement came after Yemeni officials received hints that cleric Hussein al-Houthi, who was killed by the government troops in September last year, received financial assistances from Bahraini traders.
