Days after Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's (AQAP) leader, Nasser Al Wuhayshi, was killed in an American drone strike, the group has reportedly executed two Saudi men accused of spying for the U.S. in Yemen.
Residents in the city of Mukalla, where Al Qaeda's Yemen affiliate has been operating freely, said that the jihadists claimed that the two alleged spies had planted chips that enabled U.S. drone to locate and kill the group's leader, reported Fox News.
One of the residents said that the militants put the two suspects, named Al Mutairi and Al Khaledi, on the corniche in the city and opened fire at them in front of a big crowd.
Photos posted on social media by Al Qaeda supporters showed jihadists surrounding two blindfolded men kneeling on the sand.
