Drone Strike Punctuates Obama Pledge to Fight On in Yemen

 
Although the outcome of the crisis in Yemen remains uncertain, the United States underscored President Obama’s vow to fight on against terrorism in the region with a drone strike that killed three Al-Qa’ida terrorists. Following word over the weekend that Yemeni President Hadi had resigned while under siege in his presidential residence, President Obama said the upheaval would not deter actions against Al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) that Washington has been carrying out with the participation of the Yemeni army and the personal involvement of President Hadi. On Tuesday there remained no resolution in sight as Shiite Houthi gunmen attacked demonstrators in the streets of the capital Sana’a.
