A suspected US drone strike killed three alleged al-Qaeda members in the Yemeni province of Maarib, AFP reported Tuesday, citing officials from the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.
“Three Al-Qaeda members were killed in a strike by a drone that is believed to be American,” an unnamed government official said. “The three were in a car in Wadi Obeida when they were targeted by the suspected US strike that killed them immediately.”
