Yemen minister threatens more strikes on al Qaeda

YEMEN will carry out more strikes against al Qaeda so long as its security is threatened by the global militant group, Interior Minister Muttahar al-Masri said in remarks carried by state media today.

The Yemeni Defense Ministry's online newspaper said Masri was "threatening al Qaeda with more strikes", days after Yemen said six al Qaeda militants were killed in an air strike in northern Yemen. Al Qaeda's Yemen-based wing said its fighters survived. "These strikes will not be the last so long as the security and stability of the country and its institutions is targeted by terrorist elements," the "September 26" newspaper cited Masri as saying.
