Four al Qaeda members killed in suspected US drone strike
SANAA -- Four members of al Qaeda's Yemen branch, including a local commander, were killed in a suspected US drone strike on a vehicle travelling east of the capital Sanaa, two local officials said on Saturday.
They said the attack in Marib province, controlled by forces loyal to exiled President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, occurred late on Friday. A local commander of the militant Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), known as Abu Khaled al-Sanaani, was killed along with three associates, they said.
