Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula AQAP rejected on Wednesday reports including statements by a Somali minister that it had relocated to Somalia, the News Yemen reported.
On the other hand, an official source said that security authorities had freed an Al-Qaeda-linked detainee, Arif Mujali who escaped from the Central Prison in Sana'a in 2006.
Mujali was charged with attacking the French oil tanker off Mukalla port in 2002.
Mujala was recently arrested among a group that planned to attack foreign missions in the country including the British embassy.
