Drone strike kills 7 Qaeda suspects in Yemen

[ahlam1399]

ADEN: A drone strike early Saturday killed seven suspected Al-Qaeda militants in southern Yemen, a security official said. The US military is the only force known to operate armed drones over Yemen. The official said the strike happened after midnight and targeted a car in Shabwa province. ?All seven passengers, who were Al-Qaeda members, were killed,? said the security source. The United States considers the Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to be the radical group´s most dangerous branch. A long-running drone war against AQAP has intensified since US President Trump took office in January 2017. AQAP has flourished in the chaos of the country´s civil war, which pits the Saudi-backed government against Shiite Huthi rebels.
