From [1] UPI, with thanks to Jeff Lastname:

A Yemeni security court Saturday indicted an American of Yemeni origin on charges of belonging to al Qaida and attempting to kill three foreigners. Mohammad Jaber al-Bannaa pleaded guilty in the court, specialized in terrorism cases in the capital, Sanaa, to attempting to murder a Dutchman, an Austrian and a German.

He testified that he had received $60,000 from an "anonymous charitable person" to carry out the attack, saying that his "closeness to God" had drove him to do so.
