New US drone strike kills four Al-Qaeda suspects in Yemen
[YEMENONLINE.INFO] A drone strike killed at least four Al-Qaeda suspects in Yemen Monday, tribal sources said, the third attack in a week after Washington vowed to pursue its anti-jihadi campaign there.The unmanned aircraft, which only the United States operates in the region, targeted a car carrying "at least four" suspects in Baida province, the sources said. They said the bodies inside the car were left charred. "Loud kabooms were heard after the attack," one source told AFP, saying this could mean the car had been "loaded with arms and explosives." This was the third such strike since U.S. President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... on January 25 vowed no let-up in Washington's campaign against jihadis in Yemen. Four suspected Death Eaters were killed in a similar strike Saturday, while another raid left three alleged Al-Qaeda Death Eaters dead on January 26. Both of those attacks were in the southern province of Shabwa. Obama had dismissed suggestions that deepening chaos in Yemen since last month's resignation of Western-backed President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi had forced a change in Washington's campaign against Al-Qaeda.
