Yemen: Two U.S. Drone Strikes Kill 7; U.S.-Backed Strikes Kill Dozens 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Yemen, tribal sources and local officials say two apparent U.S. drone
strikes killed seven people over the weekend. In both attacks, the dead
are being described by officials as suspected al-Qaeda militants.
Meanwhile, dozens of people have died following U.S.-backed, Saudi-led
airstrikes on Friday on the southwestern city of Taiz.
