U.S. drone strike kills 2 suspected al-Qaida operatives in Yemen

At least two people were killed when a U.S. drone strike hit a vehicle in Yemen's northeastern province of Marib on Friday, pro-government media reported.

"The men were suspected al-Qaida operatives," the website cited unnamed Yemeni government security officials as saying.
