Jews in Yemen
The family of the murder victim Moshe Nahari, who swore they would not leave Yemen until they had seen justice done in his name, have just suffered a further setback: Nahari's killer has escaped jail, according to this Chinese agency report in Ynet News (with thanks: Gili):
Abdul-Aziz al-Abdi, a Yemeni citizen convicted of murdering a Jewish man more than two years ago, has escaped from the prison to which he was confined, the Chinese Xinhua news agency reported Friday.
The report says Moshe Yaish-Nahari's killer succeeded in bribing prison guards and escaping with ten additional prisoners.
A local security source said several of the escaped prisoners have since been caught, but that al-Adbi remains at large. The 40-year old man was sentenced to death last summer after his conviction.
Al-Abdi killed Yaish-Nahari on December 11 2009, in the city of Raida in Omran, north of the capital Sana'a. Nahari was a brother of one of the Yemeni Jewish community's top rabbis.
