Typical of drone strikes, Al Jazeera reports there were more than three killed.

[sad sally]

More deaths reported

A tribal chief in the area where al-Awlaki was killed told The Associated Press that the brother of one of those killed witnessed the strike.

The brother, who had sheltered the group in his nearby home, said the group had stopped for breakfast in the desert and were sitting on the ground eating when they saw the drone approaching.

They rushed to their truck to drive off when the missiles hit, incinerating the vehicle, according to the tribal chief, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not want to be associated with the incident.

US officials said two other fighters were killed in the strike but the tribal chief, who helped bury the bodies in an al-Jawf cemetery, said seven people were killed, including al-Awlaki, Khan, two mid-level Yemeni al-Qaeda members, two Saudis and another Yemeni.

3. They admit to firing at least 3 Hellfires...

Depending on the UAV model, they had plenty to spare... BUT, each Hellfire can kill a main battle tank!!!
