11 Killed in Apparent U.S. Drone Strike in Yemen 
-------------------------------------------------


 
At least 11 people have been killed in a pair of apparent U.S. drone
attacks in southern Yemen. Yemeni officials said the victims were
alleged al-Qaeda militants. The attack would mark at least the second
U.S. drone strike in the past week following the killing of a suspect
wanted in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. President Obama's top
counter-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, is currently in Yemen for talks
with the Yemeni government.
