U.S. Missile Strike Kills 5 in Yemen 
-------------------------------------


 
At least five people have been killed in an apparent U.S. missile attack
in the south of Yemen. Yemeni officials said the victims were militants
in the al-Qaeda stronghold of Jaar. The Pentagon, meanwhile, has
confirmed it is sending military trainers and special operations forces
back to Yemen to work with Yemen's military. Earlier this week, it was
revealed the CIA thwarted a bomb plot originating in Yemen with the help
of a Saudi informant acting as a double agent.
