Good thing the poor thing was released from Gitmo, eh? Remember also: drug trafficking has been a major means of support for, at least, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. From [1] Arab News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
SANAA, 24 January 2006 — A Yemeni man repatriated last year from the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, appeared before a state security court in Sanaa yesterday charged with drug trafficking.Karama Saeed Khamsan, 33, was accused of traveling to Pakistan to secure the delivery of two tons of hashish for $533,000 for a Yemeni partner.
The consignment was due to be smuggled across the Arabian Sea to the southern Yemeni province of Al-Mahra and then through the porous borders to Saudi Arabia.
