Yemen Interior Ministry reported on Wednesday - onto its website - it intercepted a shipment of weapons bearing the "made in turkey seal" at Aden' seaport main entrance - southern seaport -

A statement published on the ministry' site stipulated the weapons had been concealed underneath several of sheets of cardboard, which the Customs Authorities believe to have been an attempt to fool customs security checks.

A preliminary inquiry established the weapons came from the capital, Sana'a, some 370 Km away.

In less than six months Turkey has been accused of arming and enabling local militia through the smuggling of Turkish made weapons into the country. Although none of the evidences so far proved to be conclusive, the sheer number of findings is raising some questions.

Security experts Marcy Kreiter theorized the smuggling of Turkish-made weapons or Turkish-bound weapons cargo pointed more to a loophole in security in Turkey and Yemen rather than a somber plot to destabilize the impoverished nation.

"In all likeliness Turkey is victim of a failure in its security apparatus. Smugglers are using Turkey's loopholes to traffic weapons in the region. Because of Yemen geographic position within the region, smugglers are using the country as a hub."

This new discovery comes amid talks between Turkey and Yemen to tighten up security cooperation relations in combating terrorism and armed smuggling.

On January 30, Turkey Ambassador Fazli Corman met in Sana'a with Interior Minister Abdul-Qader Qahtan to discuss the matter.
