Two killed in southern Yemen in new US drone strike

An American drone has struck Yemen's southern province of Abyan, killing two suspected al-Qaeda militants.

The targeted people were traveling on a motorbike on the outskirts of the town of Wadei when the airstrike was carried out during the late hours of Saturday.

Similar strikes have recently claimed more lives in the Arab country.

The United States claims the airstrikes target members of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and other militants, but according to local officials and witnesses, civilians have also been the victims of the attacks in many cases.
