After a three-month hiatus, the United States conducted an airstrike in Yemen on Wednesday. A missile, believed to be fired from an armed drone, struck a vehicle killing five in the town of Wessab in Yemen's central Dhamar province. Among the dead is Hamid al-Radmi, who the U.S. government believes to have been a regional commander of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
