Update on Dutch terror arrest.

Local Yemeni Americans say the media frenzy surrounding the detainment of two Yemen-bound men has hurt the community already under a microscope.

U.S. officials said Tuesday that the two former Detroiters arrested in Amsterdam after suspicious items were found in one of the men’s luggage were probably not on a test run for a future terrorist attack.

But to Yasser al Soofi, a 38-year-old Dearborn insurance agent, the damage has already been done to the two men; Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi, 48, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Hezam al Murisi, 37, of Memphis, Tenn. Both are former Detroiters.
