AKIPRESS.COM - Al Qaeda militants in Yemen executed two Saudi men accused of spying for the United States on Wednesday, two eyewitnesses told Reuters, a day after the group announced its leader was killed in a suspected U.S. drone strike.

"They executed two Saudis, named al-Mutairi and al-Khaledi. They put the two men on the corniche in the city of Mukalla ...they opened fire at them in front of a big group of residents," one eyewitness said.
