At least 11 people have been killed in a pair of apparent U.S. drone attacks in southern Yemen. Yemeni officials said the victims were alleged al-Qaeda militants. The attack would mark at least the second U.S. drone strike in the past week following the killing of a suspect wanted in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, is currently in Yemen for talks with the Yemeni government.
