This undated photo, provide by a Yemeni tribal leader and consistent with independent AP reporting, shows Sheikh Seif al-Joufi, in his 80s, who was was shot dead, according to several witnesses, in a Jan. 29, 2017, US raid when he stepped out of a house during the assault on the tiny village of Yakla, Yemen. Al-Joufi, had come to the house seeking mediation to win the release of a relative snatched by al-Qaida. The raid, which left at least 25 Yemenis dead and a US Navy Seal, showed how difficult it is to tell who is al-Qaida in a country where the militants are mingled with tribes and are fighting on the same side as the government against the rebels.
