Al Qaeda militants have seized this small town of Radda, 105 miles from the Yemeni capital.<br/> The militants met little resistance from the small police force as they captured the mosque and ancient citadel.<br/> This provides another setback to efforts to restore order after Yemen's president handed power to his deputy after mass protests.<br/> Residents said militants were led by Tareq al-Dahab, who had been handed over to Yemen by Syria after he was detained trying to slip into Iraq.<br/> Radda expands al Qaeda's control outside of the southern province of Abyan, where they have taken over several towns since the uprisings against the president began.<br/> Marie-Claire Fennessy, Reuters
