Yemeni army soldiers fire rockets at mountainous positions of al-Qaida militants at the town of Meyfaa in the southern province of Shabwa, Yemen in May 2014 file photo provided by Yemen's Defense Ministry. Al-Qaida took over multiple towns in Shabwa in 2015 and held them until they withdrew in late 2017 and early 2018. The AP found that they pulled out under secret deals with the U.S.-backed coalition that allowed them to take weapons and cash with them, integrated some of its fighters into coalition-backed forces and even paid off some militants.
