ADEN: Ten suspected Al-Qaeda members in southern Yemen were killed in drone strikes over the weekend, government officials said Monday, as raids targeting the radical group intensify. The United States is the only force known to operate armed drones over war-torn Yemen, where thousands have died in the conflict and millions now face famine. Fadl Tissi, Han Tissi and Sultan Amri ? three Yemenis ?known for their ties to Al-Qaeda? ? were killed when their car was hit in a drone attack on Qaifa in the central Baida province late Sunday, a local government official said. Another drone attack at around midnight Saturday targeted three vehicles on the road from the southern province of Shabwa to Baida, killing seven suspected jihadists, an official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
