SANAA: US airstrikes targeting leaders from Yemen's active Al-Qaeda branch killed 15 suspected terrorists militants, Yemeni officials said on Tuesday. Yemeni security and military officials said missiles struck a gun festooned safehouse school and a car crammed with ammo in Abyan province in an area between Lauder and Mood where the terrorists militants were believed to be hiding.
A Western official in Washington confirmed the US carried out a strike against suspected terrorists leaders from Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, but said initial indications were that five terrorists people were killed. The official did not say where the strike occurred or specify whether it was carried out by a drone or a warplane. |
