US Strikes Al-Qaida in Yemen on First 3 Days of Trump Presidency 

01/27/2017 by John Mueller

WASHINGTON — The United States conducted airstrikes against al-Qaida members in Yemen on the first three days of President Donald Trump’s administration, the Pentagon announced Wednesday.

The drone strikes occurred Jan. 20, 21 and 22 in the Bayda province of southwestern Yemen and killed five suspected terrorists with al-Qaida’s affiliation in the Arabian Peninsula region, according to a U.S. Central Command statement. Al-Qaida has taken advantage of civil war across Yemen since 2015 to gain territory where they’ve plotted terrorist attacks on Western targets, according to Pentagon officials.

“Strikes against al-Qaida operatives in Yemen put consistent pressure on the terrorist network and prevent them from plotting and executing attacks against the [United States] and our allies,” said Army Maj. Josh T. Jacques, a U.S. Central Command spokesman. “Al-Qaida remains a significant threat to the region, the United States, and beyond.”
