U.S. to use more drones to hunt Al-Qaeda in Yemen

The Obama administration plans to use more predator drone attacks in their hunt for al Qaeda members in Yemen. The U.S. had stopped air attacks on the region in the last few months, as they lack sufficient intelligence as to the whereabouts of the members. Officials have declined specifics of the attack plans, except that they will be carried out by the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command. U.S. officials have praised the cooperation that has occurred between the U.S. and Yemeni government. More on the story here.
