SANAA, 05 Oct — The government Sunday circulated a black list of key Yemeni arms dealers.  At the top of the list came Faris Mana who is heading a state-sponsored committee to negotiate peace with Shiite insurgents in northern Yemen.  Mana is a major weapons trafficker and other names in the list included: Abdullah Bin Ma’ili, Jarman Muhammad Jarman, Ahmad Awad Abu-Maska, Hussein Ahmad al-Hathili, Abdullah Mubarak al-Saqeer, and Ali Daeallah al-Sawadi.  Most of these men are tribal sheiks and authorities Sunday issued a stern warning against importing, dealing and trading with arms and ammunitions, stressing “such acts are unlawful, harm the nation’s security and violators will be held accountable.”  Meanwhile, the ruling party official weekly newspaper, Al-Mithaq, Sunday said authorities have thwarted an attempt by arms dealers to bring Chinese-made weapons into the country using fake official documents, adding “those involved are being interrogated and will be tried soon.”  The paper said influential mediators tried to convince authorities to let the arms shipment into Yemen but failed.
