Study: Major Increase in U.S. Attacks in Yemen 
-----------------------------------------------



A new study shows U.S. attacks in Yemen have increased dramatically over
the past year. According to the the Bureau of Investigative Journalism,
strikes on alleged militants in Yemen are now occurring at the same rate
as the CIA drone program in Pakistan. At least 26 U.S. military strikes
have taken place in Yemen, most of them since May 2011. The Yemen
strikes have killed hundreds of people, including at least 54 civilians.
