4 Qaeda suspects dead in Yemen drone strike

Four suspected Al-Qaeda fighters were killed in a drone strike in Hadramawt province in southeastern Yemen, a military source says.

He says the drone, which only the United States operates in the region, targeted “a gathering of Al-Qaeda fighters” between the village of Qatan and the town of Shibam, killing four and wounding several others.

It was the fourth drone strike since US President Barack Obama vowed on January 25 not to let up in Washington’s campaign against jihadists in Yemen despite the country’s political turmoil.
