The officials said Saeed al-Shihri was killed, but could not confirm any U.S. involvement in the airstrike Monday that Yemeni leaders say killed the terrorist and five others.
Yemeni officials said the missile that killed al-Shihri, who was a Saudi national, was believed to have been fired by a U.S.-operated, unmanned drone aircraft. The U.S. doesn’t usually comment on such attacks although it has used drones in the past to go after al-Qaida members in Yemen.
Two U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information to the news media.

People don’t understand!!!
Under President Obama’s Leadership…
We have killed Al-Quieda’s “#2 man”…
18 TIMES!!!! (:-D LOL!!! Woo-Hoo!!!
USA! USA! USA!
This is why I’ve been coming on here & telling people: no matter how much Mitt Romney keeps wanting to paint President Obama as a “failure” on foreign policy & “weak” on terrorism…
What is he talking about?!?!?! LOL
Anyone (who’s being honest w\themselves) who will take the time to look up the FACTS & statistics of successes during the Obama Administration vs. his predecessor… it’s not even close!
Just SAYING President Obama’s Administration has been a “failure” on terrorism & foreign policy… doesn’t make it TRUE! And the “Undecideds” & middle-America can judge for themselves who’s been careful & consistent & successful vs. Who was wreckless & bloated & corrupt, and which party wants to take us all BACK to that time again!
No thanks!
Give credit where credit is due.
Thank You President Obama!
Who’s the #1 these days, now that Bin Laden sleeps with the fishes? And why aren’t we going after him? Al-Qaeda is like Goldman Sachs – a million VP’s.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
There Obama goes again killing terrorists left and right, what’s next Bin Laden? Oh he got him already! Way to go Obama
To #3 I agree Give credit where credit is due!!
Oh of COURSE when the Obama Administration does something RIGHT… people come on here & say the President gets ZERO credit for it.
But anything perceived as a failure? Even if it’s stuff that happened BEFORE he took office? It’s ALL his fault! LOL Whatever!
Just admit it: this President has been SUCCESSFUL at foreign policy, has put GOOD people in charge of it (not just a bunch of cronies who he grew up with), and has been effective in an economic way as well! We were able to take Osama Bin Laden out w\a couple of Seal Teams…we didn’t take 1\2 our Army into Pakistan to do it!
I feel PLENTY safe w\President Obama at the helm when it comes to foreign policy, compared to Mitt Romney’s blistering & blustering & promising to go all over the globe “policing the world” again!
I’m sorry…but nobody’s buying the Republican mantra that only THEY know how to keep this country safe! Please!
