Yemen is crawling with undercover agents. Met one "tour guide" showing around some other tourists in a small city... then while taking care of visa issues at a government office... saw the same guy in his office! And yes, he admitted he worked there! Supposedly, every hotel has 2 undercover agents. One that everyone suspects & a 2nd super-secret agent. (Following the bombing, our not too secret secret agent has actually organized a lookout post at the highest point in the hotel to watch for terrorists.) And a French guy went to get a pass to travel to a city known for antiques & he was denied this pass because they "knew" he had talked to people about Yemeni antiques. They didn't tell him this but our not too secret secret agent went with him & told us later. And recently... discovered I'm being followed. No, I'm not paranoid. Seriously! Every time I hail a cab, I get one of two different drivers. This city has 1,000 cabs yet I only get the same two! Tags: Yemen |
