U.S. Missile Strike Kills 5 in Yemen

HeadlineMay 10, 2012

At least five people have been killed in an apparent U.S. missile attack in the south of Yemen. Yemeni officials said the victims were militants in the al-Qaeda stronghold of Jaar. The Pentagon, meanwhile, has confirmed it is sending military trainers and special operations forces back to Yemen to work with Yemen’s military. Earlier this week, it was revealed the CIA thwarted a bomb plot originating in Yemen with the help of a Saudi informant acting as a double agent.
