Drone strike kills two 'Qaeda militants' in Yemen

SANAA: An apparent US drone strike killed two suspected Al-Qaeda militants in central Yemen on Monday, a local official said.

The attack took place in the Khobza area of the central province of Baida, the official said on condition of anonymity, adding that an American drone launched the attack.

Yemen's defence ministry said on its news website 26sep.net that the raid targeted "two members of Al-Qaeda as they left a farm on a motorbike," in Khobza.

It named the two killed as Abd Rabbo Mokbal Mohammed Jarallah al-Zouba and Abbad Mossad Abbad Khobzi. (AFP)
