Associated Press= SANAA, Yemen (AP) - Senior Yemeni officials say at least seven Saudi Arabian militants were among those killed in the wave of U.S. drone strikes targeting al-Qaida's local offshoot.
The officials say intelligence suggests Saudis are increasingly converging in neighboring Yemen either to funnel funds or to receive training in al-Qaida camps.
Since July 27, drone attacks have killed 34 suspected militants, according to an Associated Press count based on information provided by Yemeni security officials.
