SANAA, Yemen, April 23 (UPI) -- The attack by U.S. drones and Yemeni and U.S. counterterrorist forces killed at least 65 suspected terrorists last weekend, among them al-Qaida’s leading bomb manufacturer, a Yemeni official said.
Although Ibrahim al-Asiri was not the target of the assault that officials called “massive and unprecedented,” an unidentified Yemeni senior official said al-Asiri was believed to have been among those killed.
