Air Strike Kills Qaeda Militants In Yemen, Second In Two Days: Defense Ministry -- Reuters
(Reuters) - A number of al Qaeda militants were killed when an air strike hit their training camps in a remote mountainous region of southern Yemen on Sunday, the defense ministry said, the second attack of its kind in two days.
On Saturday an air strike killed 10 al Qaeda militants and three civilians in central Yemen, a country that neighbors top oil exporter Saudi Arabia and is home to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), one of the group's most lethal wings.
Yemen's defense ministry website quoted an official source on the High Security Committee as saying that an air strike hit the mountainous region between al-Mahfad in Abyan province and Azzan in Shabwa after information that "terrorist elements were planning to target vital civilian and military installations".
