Sanaa: Yemeni forces have foiled an attempt to blow up a crude oil pipeline in the Marib province and arrested a number of "saboteurs", the official Yemeni news agency Saba said on Sunday.
Saba, citing the head of security in the province, "Interrogations are under way, but the initial results indicate that this group is linked to the terrorist bombing of the pipeline last year."
In November, tribesmen blew up a pipeline that carries crude oil from the Marib oil basin to storage tanks at the Ras Issa terminal for export. No one was harmed in the bombing, which took place in a desert area in the eastern Marib province.
