UPDATE 4-Senior al Qaeda operative killed in US strike in Yemen – sources | Reuters

The United States acknowledges using drones in Yemen but does not comment publicly on the practice. Sunni Islamist al Qaeda and its affiliates in Yemen are among the most active wings of the network founded by Osama bin Laden.A statement issued by residents of the Qifa region, where the past few days of drone strikes have taken place, complained that the strikes by both the U.S. drones and the Yemeni air force were targeting “women and children at home”.”Those who are fighting the Houthis in Radda are the sons of the local tribes, and those who say they are al Qaeda …are making these charges to justify the drones rocketing our houses and killing our families,” the statement said.
