The drone, on Sunday, targeted a car driving in Habban, killing “two Al-Qaeda fighters and wounding their driver,” one of the sources said. The strike comes after an American drone attack on Saturday killed two other presumed Al-Qaeda members in their vehicle in Marib province, east of the capital Sanaa. A March strike on a training camp west of Mukalla killed more than 70 fighters. Al-Qaeda exploited the civil war in Yemen between Shiite Huthi rebels and government forces to expand its presence in the south and southeast.
