The driver and a tribal source both say the trio are being held in a bid to secure the release of an imprisoned fellow tribesman. The US State Department says the hostage-taking is not believed to be terrorism-related. Images of the region surrounding the village of Bani Mansour, 70 kilometres west of Sanaa. Duration: 00:56
