SANAA, Yemen – Yemeni officials and local tribesmen say an airstrike has targeted al-Qaida militants in a house in Saada province, killing three people.
The officials and tribesmen said the Sunday airstrike was carried out by a U.S. drone. The U.S. considers al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, based in Yemen, to be the world’s most active and has often used drones to target its members. Saudis are leading al-Qaida members.
The officials said those killed were in the courtyard of a house owned by a wanted al-Qaida militant. The governor of Saada, Fares Manaa, told a Defense Ministry website that two of the dead are believed to be Saudis.
