May 23 (UPI) -- U.S. military forces killed seven suspected al-Qaida insurgents in a raid Tuesday in Yemen, U.S. Central Command announced.
The operation involved Navy SEALs and other special Operations Troops, working with soldiers of the United Arab Emirates to recover material useable for intelligence purposes in Yemen's Marib governate, an unidentified U.S. official told the Washington Post. The raid occurred about 30 miles north of the Jan. 29 attack in which one Navy SEAL and several civilians died.
