Yemen - 10 Dead In Unauthorised US Drone Attacks

At least 10 people have been killed in unauthorized US drone strikes against areas in southern Yemen, according to a report.
The Arab broadcaster Al Arabiya reported on Thursday that unmanned US aircraft targeted “bases belonging to al-Qaeda” in al Mahfad and Shaqra areas in the southern province of Abyan.
The report came as violence intensified in the capital Sana'a between pro-regime military forces and defected troops following the failure of a diplomatic bid to end the deadliest violence since mass anti-regime protests swept the country.
At least 16 people were killed and dozens more wounded during Wednesday's clashes.
The US has been regularly launching air strikes against Abyan, killing scores of "al-Qaeda suspects" in an attempt to avert the downfall of the floundering Saleh regime.
Yemeni military claims its forces now control most of Abyan after months of failed attempts to retake the province.
Earlier this month, US drones also pounded the southern province and killed at least 30 people.
