In Yemen, at least thirty suspected militants have been reportedly killed in another air strike on an alleged al-Qaeda hideout. Yemeni forces, backed by US intelligence, are said to have carried out the strike. The attack comes one week after President Obama ordered cruise missiles to be fired at another two alleged al-Qaeda sites in Yemen. The Washington Post reports the Pentagon has poured nearly $70 million in military aid to Yemen this year. The US military has also boosted its counterterrorism training for Yemeni forces and is providing more intelligence, which probably includes surveillance by unmanned drones.
