Drone strike ‘kills 4 Qaeda suspects’ in Yemen

ADEN: A drone strike killed four suspected Al-Qaeda fighters in central Yemen on Monday, a local official said. The United States is the only force known to operate armed drones over Yemen. “A car carrying four fighters was hit as it drove on a mountain road” in Bayda province, the official said. “All of them were killed.” “The fighters were from Al-Qaeda,” he said. Washington considers the Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to be the radical group’s most dangerous branch.
