                         3 Killed in Yemen Drone Strike

   by VOA News

   Officials in central Yemen say a drone strike has killed at least three
   militants.
   Authorities said Sunday missiles fired from the unmanned aircraft
   successfully targeted a car, killing the suspected members of al-Qaida
   in the Arabian Peninsula.
   One witness said the car was engulfed in flames.
   Authorities in Yemen reported dozens of apparent U.S. drone strikes in
   2012.
   U.S.-backed Yemeni government forces have been fighting al-Qaida
   militants in the country for years.
   Al-Qaida took control of parts of southern Yemen in 2011 during an
   uprising that ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
   Suspected militants have carried out suicide bombings and other attacks
   targeting Yemeni officials.

   Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.
