A drone strike in central Yemen has killed five Al-Qaeda suspects, security officials and a tribal chief said on Wednesday.

The late Tuesday attack in Rada, a town in the central province of Baida, targeted a car carrying the suspected terrorists, a tribal chief told AFP.

The United States has been involved in a years-long unmanned drone campaign in Yemen and is thought to have carried out dozens of strikes against what it says are Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) members.
