U.S. drones killed 10 al-Qaida militants - one believed to be a top bomb-maker - in separate strikes targeting moving vehicles in Yemen, AP cited officials and the country's state-run agency as saying on Tuesday. The first attack hit two vehicles carrying seven passengers in the southern town of Radda late Monday, killing them all. The official SABA news agency said one was Abdullah Awad al-Masri, also known as Abou Osama al-Maribi, whom it described as one of the "most dangerous elements" of al-Qaida in the militant stronghold of Bayda province and the man in charge of a bomb-making lab. Further east, another U.S. drone targeted a second vehicle on Tuesday carrying three al-Qaida militants in the Zoukaika region of Hadramawt, the officials said. Officials in Yemen often credit the U.S. with carrying out drone airstrikes against the terror network's local branch, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. -- SPA
