Six Qaeda militants die in Yemen airstrike
(Reuters) - A Yemeni air strike on two cars killed at least six suspected al Qaeda militants in northern Yemen on Friday, a Yemeni security official said. "Two cars carrying eight dangerous al Qaeda members were hit in an area between Saada and al-Jouf," the security official told Reuters. "Two may have survived and escaped," he added.
Drat, blast, and damn.
We can always pray they have sucking chest wounds ...
Or contract tetanus from a scratch, or sepsis...Or were watched from above as they joined another group of miscreants. Lots of desirable outcomes, actually.
"The group included Qassem al-Remi, Ayed al-Shabwani, Ammar al-Waeli, and Saleh al-Teys," said the official, adding that the four are wanted by Yemeni and U.S. security.

The source confirmed Qassem al-Reni was killed: "He is the al Qaeda military leader and senior planner of most operations in Yemen. "He escaped two previous airstrikes," he added.

The source said another al Qaeda militant, Ayed al-Shabwani, was killed in the same air strike.

Yemen had already intensified operations against al Qaeda since a Yemen-based wing of the group said it was behind a failed December 25 attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound U.S. airliner.

Yemen declared open war on al Qaeda on Thursday and warned its citizens against aiding the global militant group.
