The attack

The al-Majalah camp attack took place on December 17, 2009, when the United States launched cruise missiles at the site.[7][8] Initially, both the U.S. and Yemeni governments denied U.S. involvement in the strikes, despite accusations from Amnesty International.[9][10] Several months after the attack in Al Majalah, Amnesty International released photos showing an American cluster bomb and a propulsion unit from a Tomahawk cruise missile. A subsequent inquiry by the Yemeni parliament found that 14 Al Qaeda fighters had been killed, along with 41 civilians, including 23 children.[2]

A primary target in the attacks was Qasim al-Raymi, an al-Qaeda leader who is suspected of, or has taken credit for, several attacks that killed many civilians and has threatened more attacks on the United States. Al-Raymi was believed to be behind the 2007 Marib suicide car bombing, which killed seven Spanish tourists and two Yemenis. However, al-Raymi survived the attack.[11]
