(Long War Journal) Bill Roggio - U.S. special operations forces raided an Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) compound in Marib province in Yemen on Tuesday and killed seven AQAP operatives "through a combination of small arms fire and precision airstrikes."

The U.S. military has launched more than 80 airstrikes throughout Yemen so far this year. The writer is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
