US Drone Kills 2 in Yemen              05/20 07:07

   SANAA, Yemen (AP) -- Yemeni security and military officials say a suspected 
U.S. drone has killed two militants in a town in the center of the country.

   The officials said the Monday attack targeted the two men as they were 
riding a motorbike outside Radda in Bayda province. The officials said the two 
men were suspected of belonging to al-Qaida, whose Yemeni branch Washington 
considers the terror group's most dangerous offshoot.

   The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not 
authorized to speak to the media. The U.S has regularly used drone strikes in 
Yemen to go after the group's members, while government troops are also 
confronting them in various parts of the country.
