Yemen: US strikes kill 64 Insurgents

US drone strikes on hideouts and arms reserves killed at least 64 suspected al-Qaida militants over three days, Yemeni officials said. \"The United States did not inform us on the attacks. We only knew about this after the US attacked,\" a member of Yemen\'s military committee told CNN. Officials at US Central Command and the Pentagon contacted Sunday declined to provide information about the attacks Yemeni officials said were carried out by unmanned US aircraft, CNN reported Monday. The US government typically doesn\'t comment on drone operations. The latest strike occurred Sunday in Abyan province in southern Yemen, two senior Yemeni security officials said. The strike was the third on suspected al-Qaida targets in less than three days, the officials said. The United States was also involved in attacks Friday and Saturday, Yemeni defense ministry officials said. Yemeni rights organizations condemned the airstrikes, calling them illegal.
