The Special Security Forces ((アラビア語:قوات الأمن الخاصة)) (formerly known as the Central Security Organization ((アラビア語:قوات الأمن المركزي))) is a paramilitary force in Yemen under the control of the Minister of the Interior, and forms a key part of the Yemeni security establishment.〔 The force is some 50,000 strong, and SSF units are equipped with a range of infantry weapons and armored personnel carriers. The force also has its own extrajudicial detention facilities.〔(Country profile: Yemen ). Library of Congress Federal Research Division (August 2008). 〕 ==History== The CSO was originally founded as part of Yemen's efforts to combat al-Qaeda. In 2001 Yahya Saleh, the nephew of then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh, became Chief of Staff of the CSO. Under Yahya, the CSO became stronger, better paid, and better equipped. Yahya also oversaw the formation of the CTU, which was established with funding and training from the United States. Within hours of the 2012 Sana'a bombing, an attack by Ansar al-Sharia on units of the CSF, Yahya Saleh was dismissed by President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi through presidential decree. Major General Fadhel Bin Yahiya al-Qusi replaced Saleh as the CSO's Chief of Staff. The Central Security Organization was renamed as the Special Security Forces following a presidential decree on 21 February 2013. On 8 September 2014 President Hadi relieved General Fadhel Bin Yahiya al-Qusi of his command of the SSF, and appointed General Mohammed Mansour al-Ghadra in his place.〔http://www.yementimes.com/en/1815/news/4319/New-Special-Security-Forces-commander-appointed.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Special Security Forces (Yemen)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
