SANAA, Yemen, Nov 2 (NNN-SABA) – At least two people were killed, when a U.S. drone strike hit a vehicle, in Yemen’s northeastern province of Marib on Friday, pro-government media reported.
According to Almasdar Online news website, the air raid killed “Khamis bin Afraj and his brother Turki, in Raidan, north of Marib.”
“The men were suspected al-Qaeda operatives,” the website cited unnamed Yemeni government security officials, as saying.
The United States has been occasionally carrying out air strikes, against al-Qaeda-linked fighters in Yemen, but the Yemeni authorities usually do not comment.– NNN-SABA
