al-Qaeda militants killed in Yemen
Fatik al Rodaini Published in Bikya Masr on 24 - 04 - 2012

SANA'A: An officer was killed on Monday in Yemen's southern province of Hadhramout by an armed group believed to be linked to al-Qaeda.
According to a security source in al-Mukalla, Adnan Okeish, an officer in the intelligence division was killed on Monday afternoon by unknown gunmen in Raes Hoela district, east of al-Mukalla.
“They opened fire on him while he was driving,” the source added.
Meanwhile, at least seven al-Qaeda militants were killed in two airstrikes in the south where militants control swaths of town there.
Sources said that US drones hit a vehicle in Yemen's southern province of Shabwa, killing three al-Qaeda militants, while a Yemeni strike killed four militants near Lawder, a city in the southern Abyan province.
On Sunday at least three al-Qaeda militants were killed in an air strike conducted by Yemeni air forces in Yemen's eastern province of Mareb.
The air strike took-out a vehicle believed to be carrying al-Qaeda militants on al-Sanda district near Obeida valley, killing at least three passengers.
In Yemen's southern province of Abyan, where fierce clashes between Yemeni troops and militants linked to al-Qaeda, at least 17 militants were killed on Sunday in an air raid near Lawder, about 150 km northeast of Zinjibar, Abyan's provincial capital.
Earlier this week Yemeni air force carried out two airstrikes in the province of Abyan against al-Qaeda hideouts, killing scores of militants. According to the Defense Ministry, the attacks also left five people wounded.
Yemen's military regained part of a strategic southern city yesterday after an intense battle with al-Qaeda militants left 19 people dead as the government tries to purge the insurgents from their strongholds.
More than 250 people have been killed in the fighting and airstrikes in southern Yemen over the past two weeks. US drones and Yemeni warplanes have regularly targeted southern regions.
The war on al-Qaeda is one of the most challenging tests facing the country's new president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. He took power after Saleh stepped down in February as part of power-transfer deal brokered by Arab Gulf countries and backed by the United States.
