A US drone attack killed three al Qaeda suspects in Yemen's Shabwa on Monday, the second such strike in the southern province in days, a security official said. The suspected militants were travelling in the Al-Musaina region of Shabwa when their vehicle was hit, the official said.
The car was burned out and all three suspects on board were killed, he added.
On Friday, a similar drone attack in Shabwa killed four suspected members of al Qaeda, according to a security official.
US strikes have taken out a number of senior al Qaeda commanders in Yemen over the past year. Washington considers the Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to be the network's deadliest franchise and has vowed no let-up in its war against the jihadists.
