- 7 years ago
US special forces have launched a surprise raid against an al Qaeda stronghold in central Yemen.
In what appears to be the first American military action in the country under President Donald Trump, Yemeni security officials said three al Qaeda leaders and dozens of militants were killed in the assault.
The Pentagon has not confirmed if it carried out the strike.
Medics at the scene say 10 women and three children were also among the dead.
