3 suspected US drones kill 12 militants in Yemen

Three US drone strikes killed a total of 12 suspected al-Qaeda militants Thursday, a Yemeni military official said, raising to eight the number of attacks in less than two weeks as the Arab nation is on high alert against terrorism.

 

The uptick in drone strikes signals that the Obama administration is stepping up its efforts to target Yemen's al-Qaeda offshoot - al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - amid fears of attacks after the interception of a message between its leader and the global leader of the terror network. (AP)
