Yesterday, a trio of strikes killed 14 suspected militants, the BBC reports. The attacks occurred in Mareb and Hadramout provinces; they all hit cars, the AP reports, via the New York Times. Meanwhile, according to a Yemeni diplomat, the US is suspending plans to send some 100 Yemeni Guantanamo detainees to their home country.
