Drone kills five Al Qaeda suspects

[DAWN] ADEN: A dronezap on Sunday killed five suspected Al Qaeda snuffies in the Yemeni province of Marib, east of the capital Sanaa, security officials said.

One official said a US drone had probably carried out the strike, which targeted a car in the province’s Saoud district.
