A Yemeni army helicopter flies over the district of Arhab in the Sanaa province after security forces carried out operations against Al-Qaeda suspects on December 17, 2009 in the area as well as in the southern province of Abyan, some 480 kilometres (300 miles) southeast of the capital. Yemeni security forces killed at least 28 Al-Qaeda militants and captured 17 others in the operations backed by air strikes that foiled imminent suicide attacks, the defence ministry said. The ministry official said several Qaeda targets were attacked in Arhab, where a cell was found preparing suicide attacks on Yemeni and foreign interests.

SANAA, YEMEN -- Yemeni forces, backed by airstrikes, killed at least 28 al-Qaeda militants and captured 17 others in Thursday a pre-dawn assault on an alleged training camp and other areas in this Middle East nation, where al-Qaeda's presence is of growing concern to U.S. officials.
The operation targeted militants planning suicide bomb attacks against Yemeni and foreign sites, including schools, according to a statement on 26Sept.net, a Yemeni Web site linked to the government's military. Several civilians were also apparently killed and homes destroyed, witnesses told local news agencies.
