A couple articles I posted this week are related and detail information about the United States’ last drone attack in Yemen. The articles relate to my topic of Yemen drone attacks. The first article is from the news site The Globe and Mail, and is titled “Grade 6 student killed by U.S. drone strike in Yemen, rights group says”. It was published on Jan. 27, 2015. According to a Yemini rights group, a 6th grade student was killed in Yemen by a U.S drone strike east of the capitol Sanaa. The group said Mohammed Saleh Qayed Taeiman was one of three people reported killed in Monday’s drone strike. It said his father and older brother were killed in a 2011 drone strike, and a third brother was wounded in another drone attack. The death of Taeiman adds to the growing resentment towards the US for its drone missions in Yemen. Three men killed in the strike were believed to be al-Qaeda militants. The second article, by Al-Jazeera, covers the same story. It appears that this drone attack signals that the US will continue its pursuit of militants in the face of Yemen’s political instability. It is the first US drone attack since Yemen’s US-backed President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi resigned along with his Cabinet on Thursday rather than agree to the demands by the Shia rebels, known as Houthis, for more power. Though the Houthis are not friendly to America, they are opponents to al-Queda.
