Yemen: Airstrike kills 3 al-Qaida suspects
[Washington Post] A U.S. drone strike on a house in central Yemen killed three suspected al-Qaeda Death Eaters, Yemeni security officials said.The officials said the aircraft struck the house in the Obeida Valley in Marib province, where al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has a strong presence. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. A website affiliated with the Yemeni al-Qaeda branch meanwhile confirmed earlier reports that hard boyz had killed 14 soldiers on Friday near the city of Shibam in the eastern Hadramawt province. The website published pictures of the hard boyz checking the IDs of the soldiers after ordering them out of a bus that was taking them to Sanaa for vacation from the city of Sayoun. A statement issued by the group's media arm said hard boyz took the soldiers to the main market in the ancient city of Shibam and told the people who gathered there that the soldiers would be killed because they took part in military campaigns against them.
