Al-Qaeda cut off Yemeni boy's hand

September 26, 2011
Suspected al-Qaeda militants have severed the hands of two people, including a 15-year-old boy, who stole electrical cables in a southern Yemeni town, witnesses summoned to watch the punishment say.
The militants cut off the teenager's hand with a sword in front of dozens of residents of Jaar, in the troubled southern province of Abyan, on Saturday evening before taking the limb around town for all to see.
On Sunday, the militants severed the hand of a 26-year-old man whom they also accused of stealing electrical cables. Source:
