Massive Attack Targets al Qaeda in Yemen

Chandler Olah

A high-level Yemeni government official who is being briefed on the strikes told CNN on Monday that an operation targeting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is under way in Abyan and Shabwa, Yemen. "Massive and unprecedented" were the words used to describe the attacks on al Qaeda in the area with at least 30 militants being killed already. A day earlier, suspected drone strikes targeted al Qaeda fighters in Yemen for the second time in two days, killing "at least a dozen," the government official said. Further attacks are to be planned while US and Yemeni nationals join forces to further slow the al Qaeda organization.
