Yemen: At Least Two Militants Killed in Suspected US Drone Strike
At least two Al Qaeda militants have been killed in a suspected US drone attack in eastern Yemen, as Washington steps up its aerial involvement in tackling insurgents.
A local security official told the Agence France Presse that the two militants were killed in a strike on their explosives-laden car in Shibam, a historic city in Yemen’s Haramawt province.
Residents in the area told Reuters that the car had in fact been carrying three passengers when it was attacked overnight, all of whom were members of a militant cell.
