US Forces Kill Seven al-Qaida in Yemen Raid

[AnNahar] US forces have carried out a ground raid on an al-Qaeda compound in Yemen, killing seven holy warriors, the Pentagon said late Monday.

The raid took place in Marib Governorate in the early hours of Tuesday local time and was conducted with the support of Yemeni authorities.

"During this operation, US forces killed seven AQAP (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...
) ~~bandidos~~ murderous Moslems through a combination of small arms fire and precision ~~Arclight~~ airstrikes," Centcom, the US military command in the Middle East, said in a statement.

"Raids such as this provide insight into AQAP's disposition, capabilities and intentions, which will allow us to continue to pursue, disrupt, and degrade AQAP."
