The Yemeni authorities seized 246090 weapons in 2010 as the campaign to remove guns from the hands of civilians and monitoring the implementation of a law banning carrying weapon openly continued across the republic.
Deputy Interior Minister Fadl al Qawsi said the security authorities carried out 12 security plans in 2010 to ban carrying weapons in various governorates.About 18983 campaigns resulted in seizing more than 246000 guns, he said, adding that banning weapons in public plans reduced this phenomenon by 90 per cent and helped preserve the public security, largely in big cities.
