Islamists execute ‘US informers’

Islamist militants in southern Yemen have executed three men for giving the United States information used to carry out drone strikes in the area.

Residents of the towns of Jaar and Azzan said two Saudis and one Yemeni were beheaded at dawn yesterday by militant group Ansar al-Sharia. The US has been launching drone strikes against militants in the south. Last month, at least 12 people were killed in one attack.
