WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A missile fired by an unmanned CIA drone hit a car believed to be carrying suspected al Qaeda members in Yemen Sunday and killed several occupants, a U.S. official said Monday. The official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the American military was not involved in the attack, which reports from Sanaa said killed six alleged al Qaeda members, including a key suspect in a bombing attack on the U.S. warship Cole in Aden two years ago. "As I understand it, it was an agency drone" that conducted the weekend strike, said the U.S. official, who did not provide any details. The Defense Department and CIA refused to comment on the incident, but Yemen's news agency reported in Sanaa that a car explosion had killed six alleged members of al Qaeda. The radical Muslin group led by fugitive Osama bin Laden is blamed by Washington for the devastating attacks on America in September of last year. |
