Reports: US intensifying Yemen air raids - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "The US has intensified air raids on suspected fighters in Yemen in a bid to keep them from consolidating power as the impoverished Gulf Arab country's government teeters, The New York Times reports.
Citing US officials, the newspaper said on Wednesday that a US campaign using armed drones and fighter jets had accelerated in recent weeks.
A US official confirmed to the Reuters news agency that a US attack last Friday killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, a mid-level al-Qaeda operative, which followed last month's attempted raid against Anwar al-Awlaki, the leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula."
