Yemen has said that Abdul al-Monim Salim Al-Qahtani and Muhammad Aldjadni Aldgari were among the dead in last Thursday' attack on al-Qaeda in the southern province of Shawba.
The two were al-Qaeda suspects and wanted by authorities in connection with terrorist acts. The preemptive operation carried out by Yemeni counterterrorism forces with support from the Air Force targeted the terrorists while meeting on their plans to attack several domestic and foreign interests in the country.About 30 terrorists were killed.After the operation security forces in the province launched a hunt for those terrorists who survived being killed and could flee to other cities with their injuries.The people in the area were warned against sheltering terrorist suspects and helping them.The operation followed successful operations in the south and north a week earlier in which about 34 Qaeda suspects were killed.Other 29 suspects were injured in the raids that targeted al-Qaeda hideouts and training sites in Abyan and Sana'a.The operations were regionally and internationally hailed as a model.
