SAN'A, Yemen -- Yemeni security forces have recaptured the last of
10 militants who escaped from prison last year after being detained
for the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, an official said Friday.
The last two -- Jamal Badawi, Yemen's most-wanted man, and Fahd al-
Quso -- were arrested in the mountains of southern Abyan province
Friday morning, provincial Gov. Farid Major said.
The Yemeni Interior Ministry said both men were wounded in a
shootout with security forces before their capture and were being
treated at a hospital.
A member of the security forces also was wounded, a security
official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
