Yemen Air Strike 'Kills Six Qaida Militants'
[An Nahar] An air strike believed to have been carried out by a U.S. drone killed six presumed members of al-Qaeda in north Yemen on Sunday, a tribal source said.The air raid targeted a vehicle in the Khab al-Shath area near al-Jawf, the source said, adding that the six dead included suspected al-Qaeda member Hassan al-Saleh Huraydan and his brother. The tribal source had earlier put the number of dead at five. "A Saudi national is among the dead," the source said of the air strike that took place in the province bordering Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... Witnesses said that three raids followed the first strike, but they did not provide details about the targets. Posted by: Fred 2013-06-10 |
