2 Al Qaeda militants reportedly killed in US airstrike in Yemen SANAA, Yemen - Yemeni security officials say a U.S. drone airstrike has killed two Al Qaeda militants in a southern town. They said one was a midlevel Al Qaeda Yemeni operative who escaped a U.S. drone attack 10 years ago. The other was said to be a Jordanian. The officials said Monday's airstrike on Radda in Bayda province also critically injured three militants. The Yemeni militant, Abdel-Raouf Naseeb, escaped death in the first recorded drone attack in Yemen, on Nov. 3, 2002. That strike killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, suspected of masterminding the October 2000 attack against the USS Cole warship in a Yemen port. A member of the Naseeb family confirmed his death to The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity fearing government reprisal. The security officials also requested anonymity according to regulations.
