(Washington Times) - The man accused of killing three American missionaries at a Southern Baptist hospital in Yemen may have ties to al Qaeda, officials said as an FBI team joined the investigation. Dr. Martha Myers, 57, from Montgomery, Ala., and William Koehn, 60, of Arlington, Texas, were buried on the hospital grounds in accordance with their wills. Kathleen Gariety, 53, from Wauwatosa, Wis., also had asked to be buried in Yemen. "This is treachery of the highest form," student Ghaleb al-Maqaleh said outside the clinic. "Doctor Martha was like a mother to all us. Whoever committed this crime killed us all."
