Al-Qaeda confirmed on March 5 that Hamad bin Hamoud al-Tamimi, a top Saudi leader in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), was killed in a suspected U.S. air strike in Yemen last month, according to the SITE Intelligence Group.
Al-Tamimi was killed on Feb. 26 in a drone strike that targeted his residence in central Yemen, the American nonprofit that monitors Islamic extremist websites reported.
