U.S. Urges Citizens to Leave Yemen; Drone Strike Kills 4 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
The Obama administration has ordered all non-emergency personnel to
leave Yemen and urged U.S. citizens currently living there to "depart
immediately." In a statement issued today, the State Department cited
"the continued potential for terrorist attacks." Meanwhile a U.S. drone
strike killed four people in Yemen today, marking the fourth such attack
in less than two weeks. Yemeni tribal leaders said the dead were
suspected members of al-Qaeda. One is believed to be a senior al-Qaeda
member named Saleh Jouti.
