A US drone strike killed three suspected Al-Qaeda militants at dawn today in the second such attack in Yemen in three days, a tribal source said.

"The car in which the three were travelling -- two Yemenis and a Saudi -- was blown to pieces and all of them were killed outright," the source told AFP.

The attack struck in Shabwa, a southern province that borders Abyan, where Saturday night's strike hit.

"It was carried out by a US drone," the source said.
