SANAA, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- A U.S. drone strike killed at least four al-Qaida suspects in Yemen's restive northern province of Saada on Sunday, an official of the Interior Ministry said.
"At least four al-Qaida suspects, including two Saudi fugitives, were killed when the U.S. unmanned warplane hit two houses in Wadi Abu Jubarah in Saada province," the official told Xinhua by phone on condition of anonymity.
It was the first drone strike in northern Yemen since the U.S.- Yemeni forces launched anti-al-Qaida operations earlier this year.
