Yemen Shi'ite rebels free scores of prisoners

Yemeni state media said that one of three militants killed in Sunday air strikes on al Qaeda targets was a Saudi militant, Samir al-Sanaani, who had been living in Abyan province.

The strikes, followed by further hits on al Qaeda targets in south Yemen mountains a day later, also killed two other militants including Jamil al-Anbari, a local al Qaeda leader.
