US drone kills 4 in Yemen
A US drone strike has killed four suspected al-Qaeda terrorists in the Yemeni port city of Mukalla, which was seized by Takfiri militants last month.
"Four Al-Qaeda members were killed, including leaders, and others wounded," AFP quoted an official as saying on Monday.
A vehicle parked outside the entrance of a presidential palace in Mukalla, capital of the southeastern Hadramawt province, was the target of the attack.
The US carries out airstrikes through assassination drones in Yemen and several other Muslim countries, including Pakistan and Afghanistan. Washington claims the drones target al-Qaeda militants but local sources say civilians have been the main victims of the airstrikes.
The United Nations and several human rights organizations have identified the US as the world’s number-one user of “targeted killings.”
The US drone strikes in Yemen have led to the deaths of many civilians over the past few years in a blatant violation of international law, according to Human Rights Watch.
