Washington, July 29 (ANI): Four suspected al Qaeda militants have been killed after a U.S. drone struck their vehicle in southern Yemen.
The latest strike comes amid Yemen's campaign to uproot al Qaeda and its offshoot Ansar al Sharia from the country.
According to CNN, four Yemeni Defense Ministry officials called the strike a success in the efforts to wipe out al Qaeda.
Last year, the government intensified its offensive against al Qaeda after political turmoil in 2010 saw militants takeover the majority of Abyan province.
After coming to office in 2012, President Abdurabu Hadi vowed to fight al Qaeda until its members are killed or surrender to the government, the report added. (ANI)
