Intel: Yemen separatists capture government convoy hauling cash to Aden

Fighters affiliated with Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council hijacked a convoy carrying billions of foreign-printed Yemeni riyals near the port of Aden on Saturday. The 64 billion riyals, printed in Russia, were bound for Yemen's central bank in Aden, Reuters reported.

Yemen’s central bank reported the heist and warned of “dangerous consequences.” The STC claimed responsibility for the seizure, saying it was done to end corruption and “prevent the use of public money in supporting terrorism.”
