Sanaa, Yemen (CNN) -- Yemen foiled an al Qaeda plot to capture oil and gas facilities and seize two key southern ports early this week, a spokesman for Yemen's prime minister said Wednesday. "The Yemeni government ended an al Qaeda plot to attack strategic locations in Mukalla and Shabwa," spokesman Rajeh Badi told CNN, referring to a Yemeni port city and a southern province. "Large numbers of government forces are making sure the Yemeni coasts are safe from any al Qaeda attack. Al Qaeda sought to attack the oil pipelines but failed and tried to attack through the coast of Mukalla but failed as well," he said. <SNIP>
