Spanish investigators arrived in Yemen later on Wednesday to take part in the investigations, the official Yemeni news agency Saba reported, adding that Interior Minister Rshad al-Alimi briefed the Spanish ambassador about the initial findings.

President Ali Abdullah Saleh and other senior officials have said they believe al Qaeda was behind the car bomb suicide attack at the Queen of Sheba Temple in Marib province, about 150 km (95 miles) east of the capital.
"Tens of suspects who we believe have links to al Qaeda have been arrested in three regions, Sana'a, Abyan and Aden," one source, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.
Security sources have said al Qaeda issued a statement last week demanding the release of some of its members jailed in Yemen and threatening to take unspecified action.
A security source said on Monday that the bomber may be one of 13 convicted al Qaeda members who escaped from prison in 2006, but Saleh said on Tuesday that evidence so far indicated he was a non-Yemeni Arab.
Yemen foiled two suicide attacks on oil and gas installations in 2006, days after al Qaeda urged Muslims to target Western interests. Al Qaeda's wing in Yemen claimed responsibility for the foiled attacks and vowed more strikes.
