Three Al-Qaeda suspects killed in Yemen drone strike: Report

Three Al-Qaeda suspects were killed in a suspected US (United States) drone strike in northeastern Yemen, according to local government officials.

The US drone strike took place in Marib province in Yemen. The attack was carried out on a car, the officials said. A government official told AFP that the drone strike was believed to be American.

The suspected Al-Qaeda militants were in a car in Wadi Obeida when they were targeted by the suspected US strike. A government official from Marib confirmed the strike on suspected Al-Qaeda militants. Washington has not yet commented on the recent incident.

The US reportedly considers Al-Qaeda’s Yemen branch - Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) - as one of the most dangerous branches of the global jihadist network. AQAP is a militant Sunni Islamist terrorist group loyal to Daesh. The US has targeted the leaders of the group for over two decades.

According to Arab News, AQAP has carried out operations against the Houthi militia and government forces in Yemen. Al Qaeda remains active in Yemen.

Recently, the US started offering up to $5 million for information on Ibrahim Al Banna, a senior leader of Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen. The US State Department said that Al Banna is the last surviving founding member of AQAP.

The US officially designated Al Banna as a terrorist in the year 2017. The US designated Aqap as a terrorist group in 2010. The Aqap claimed responsibility for a number of terrorist attacks.

The group also claimed responsibility for the attack on the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris in 2015 that killed 12 people. The group armed with rifles and other weapons killed 12 people while attacking the magazine’s office in Paris.

Al Banna is also believed to have planned the 1993 assassination attempt on former Egyptian prime minister Atef Sedky.

During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
