Tribal leaders said Saturday a suspected US drone strike destroyed a building housing al Qaeda militants last week in eastern Yemen.
The tribal leaders spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared reprisals.
Among Trump's retweets was a thread by Rita Katz, director of SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks messaging by militant groups. Katz said the attack took place Jan. 25 and she began tweeting about it Jan. 27. Katz said that of all living al Qaeda leaders, al-Rimi “was the most compelling, known for his charisma & beloved across the AQ community.”
