Dronekill on Yemeni AQAP leader, so we're told:
BBC News - Yemen al-Qaeda militant al-Nadhari killed by US drone

A senior al-Qaeda militant has been killed by a US drone strike in the south of the country, the group has said in a Twitter posting.
Sheikh Harith al-Nadhari was among four people killed in the 31 January strike in Shabwa province. There have been at least three such strikes this year.
Al-Nadhari recently appeared in an al-Qaeda video praising January's attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo.
He was among the group's few public faces and had threatened more attacks.

BTW, the article states that the bodies were "charred" when found.

Well, protests against the Houthi coup have broken out around Yemen and the Houthi's responded about how you'd expect. Guess they thought they'd be welcomed with open arms. They guessed wrong.
