| [AnNahar] An overnight drone strike killed three suspected al-Qaeda murderous Moslems in Yemen, a country where the United States is the only power operating the unmanned aircraft, a tribal source said Monday. The late Sunday strike in the Markha district of the southern province of Shabwa also maimed another three suspected myrmidons, the source told Agence La Belle France Presse. It was the second drone strike in the province in as many days. On Saturday, a drone strike on a vehicle killed three murderous Moslems in the village of Bijan. Yemen has descended into chaos since a Shiite militia overran the capital Sanaa last September. But President Barack Obama We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us... vowed in January not to let up in the U.S. campaign against the jihadists' Yemen branch, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... , which Washington regards as its most dangerous. The Huthi militia seized the presidential place in Sanaa in January and placed President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi under effective house arrest but the Western-backed leader managed to escape late last month to the main southern city of Aden. The port city and neighboring provinces are largely controlled by troops and militia loyal to Hadi. But al-Qaeda has a strong presence in parts of the south, including Shabwa and Hadramawt province further east. |
