Yemen: U.S. Warplanes and Drones in 20 Airstrikes

HeadlineMar 03, 2017

In Yemen, U.S. warplanes and drones bombed targets across three provinces overnight, in what the Pentagon said were 20 airstrikes targeting al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. They were the first direct U.S. attacks on Yemen since a botched raid in January left 25 civilians and one U.S. Navy SEAL dead. The strikes came after the White House said it may give wide latitude to the secretary of defense and top generals to carry out attacks without presidential approval.
