By Bill RoggioDecember 19, 2009 12:31 AM
The
US military carried out cruise missile attacks against two al Qaeda
camps in Yemen, killing several terrorist commanders and fighters as
well as civilians.
The attacks, which took place on Dec. 17, were carried out in
conjunction with the Yemeni military, who targeted al Qaeda bases in
the provinces of Sana'a and Abyan. The Yemeni government and the US
launched the raids after intelligence indicated al Qaeda was planning
to conduct attacks against Yemeni and US installations in the region.
