US Drone Strike Kills At Least 12 In Yemen

Link to article

"Preliminary reports indicate that one of the slain was a “wanted militant” named Abdel-Munem al-Fatahani, while local tribesmen said four of them were “al-Qaeda leaders” in the area. The targets were apparently affiliated with either the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) or the Ansar al-Sharia. Reports termed everyone suspects."

 Translation: 1 wanted suspect killed, 3 might have been guilty of something...we'll just group the rest under the generic "al-Qaeda" categorization.
