MALAPPURAM: A 49-year-old Keralite has been taken captive allegedly by a six member armed group at Sanaa in strife-torn Yemen, according to information reaching the family here. Salman, hailing from Malappuram district, has been in Yemen with his wife and five children since the past seven years.

Though the other captives were released later, there was no information about Salman yet, his father said. "We have sent email complaints to chief minister Oommen Chandy and external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, seeking urgent steps to bring back our son," he said. Yemen has been witnessing a fierce battle between Saudi-led coalition and Shiite rebels known as Houthis, who have battled their way into various cities, including in the former stronghold of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who has fled overseas.

"Friends what do you you expect from presstitutes," he said in a tweet late last night adding that last time the TV anchor thought there was 'O' in place of 'E'. His remarks elicited sharp reactions from political parties as well as a media body.Congress' spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said this is an "extreme situation" which "shows the utter intolerance, the incapacity to hear dissent and criticism of oneself".
Maybe "newstrader" is OK, but not "presstitutes"!:giggle:

US Embassy in Yemen Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens - Updated Departure Options April 6, 2015 The Indian government has offered to assist U.S. citizens who want to depart Yemen for Djibouti. This potentially includes flights out of Sana’a and ships from Aden. U.S. citizens wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should contact First Secretary Raj Kopal at the Indian Embassy in Sana’a at 00967 734 000 657; you may be required to present a valid U.S. passport for boarding. The next flights from Sana’a are scheduled to depart early on April 7.

Obviously there is a huge risk for a rescue team to get trapped and that's why, it works better for them if Indians do it. Its a good way for India to pay back for the favors we get from Americans. :two_thumbs_up:

This is a time to forget differences between nations and get all foreign citizens out of Yemen. India, Pak seem to be doing a great job of getting all their own citizens as well as citizens of other countries out of Yemen :two_thumbs_up:
