Yemen: Killed al-Qaeda leader Fahd Al-Quso along with several militants
Al-Qaeda leader Fahd Al-Quso was killed on Sunday in an airstrike in the eastern Yemeni province of Shabwa, security sources said.
According to the sources, al-Quso was killed when an airstrike targeted a car which al-Quso was on board along with several militants who were also killed in the attack.
Al-Quso was convicted by a Yemeni court in 2004 over the October 2000 bombing of the US Navy destroyer USS Cole which claimed the lives of 17 US sailors.
