3 Militants Killed in Yemen Explosion
Security officials in Yemen say three alleged al-Qaida operatives have
accidentally blown themselves up while outfitting a car with explosives
in preparation for an operation in the southern Yemeni province of
Shabwa.
Tribesmen from the area and security officials identified the three, one
Saudi and two Yemenis, as al-Qaida members. The group is known to be
active in the province's Habban region, where the explosion took place
Sunday.
The U.S considers Yemen's al-Qaida branch, also called al-Qaida in the
Arabian Peninsula, to be the network's most dangerous offshoot. The
group seized much of the south after Yemen's 2011 uprisings. A
U.S.-backed military offensive later drove militants out of cities and
towns, but they continue to stage attacks.
