Yemen

Four suspected al Qaeda operatives thought to have been wounded in the Dec. 17 airstrikes have been found in a hospital; 33 al Qaeda fighters have been detained since the operation. Saudi Arabia is attempting to determine if two of it 85 most wanted al Qaeda operatives were killed or wounded in the Dec. 17 attack. The US will repatriate six al Qaeda detainees held at Gitmo back to Yemen.
