Security forces struck several al-Qaida hideouts and training camps in Yemen on Thursday, killing up to 34 suspected militants, including four would-be suicide bombers, and arresting 17 others.
Provincial security official Saleh el-Shamsy said airstrikes followed by a ground operation targeting a training camp in Abyan province south of San'a killed up to 30 suspected militants.
A security official and witnesses, meanwhile, said civilians were caught up in the government offensive in Abyan, with several homes destroyed in the airstrikes and others stormed by troops who mistook them for al-Qaida hideouts.
