People from Yemen are Yemeni. The word means "from or relating to Yemen". Most Yemeni would also be considered to be Arab. Since Yemen is in southwest Asia, they could also be called Asian, although that would not usually be a useful designation.

Is it true that American Express is doing business with someone that sold weapons to Saddam Hussein?

Yes its true American Express do business with a Billionaire Yemeni man Called Shaher Abdulhak who provide his bank The International Bank of Yemen with their credit card services. This man played a key role in illicit weapons sales to the Iraqi dictatorship, according to a CIA report "The Procurement of Conventional Military Goods in Breach of UN Sanctions". The report states that "Yemen has assisted the Iraqi armed forces through a Yemeni businessman called Shaher Abid Al Haqq (Shaher Abdulhak, the spelling of the name varies.)." Reference is given to a meeting held 19 February 2001, were the Yemeni side was ready to export military materials from Yemen and Ethiopia to Iraq. These parts were specifically drawn from the stocks of the Yemeni armed forces, air force, army aviation and included armor, trucks, and weapons. Shaher Abdulhak is also known for being the father of Farouk Abdulhak who is the only suspect of the murder of a Norwegian student Martine Vik Magnussen in London March 2008. Farouk Abdulhak fled the UK hours after Martines death,and is believed to be living in Yemen where it is strongly suspected that he is being sheltered by his wealthy father.

What happened to Ashab Al-Okhdud?

It is unclear what the question is asking.StoryIf it is asking what the story of Ashab Al-Okhdud is, it is the following. It is unclear if these events are strictly historical since there is no supporting evidence (other than the Qur'an and the Faqih).Before the Rise of Islam, there was a Jewish Kingdom in the Yemeni (now Saudi) city of Najran led by Dhu Nawas. There was a battle and the Christian community of Najran were brutally massacred at Dhu Nawas' orders. King Negus of the Christian Kingdom of Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) intervened to protect the Yemeni Christians and annex the territory. He was successful and Abyssinia held onto Yemen until the War of the Elephant, which took place at around 570 C.E.AftermathIf it is asking what happened to the Christians and Jews described in the Ashab Al-Okhdud, it becomes very unclear.The Christian community in Yemen did not survive long after the conquest of Mecca and the unification of the Arabian Peninsula by Islam. Some credit it to mass conversion, some credit it to flight across the Gulf of Aden to Ethiopia, and some credit it to the Pact of Omar which ostensibly evicted Christians from the entire Arabian Peninsula.As for the Jews, there did remain a small contingent of Jews in Yemen through most of Yemen's history (until they were airlifted to Israel). However, Yemeni Jews were very marginalized in Yemeni society, both under the Zaydi Shiites and the Sunnis.
