Yemeni authorities have dispatched tribal representatives to investigate civilian deaths in an apparent US drone strike targeting an al Qaeda commander, AFP reported.
Three women and a child were among 14 people killed in Sunday's strike against an al Qaeda member who ultimately escaped unharmed, local officials said.
The suspected drone fired two rockets, one of which hit a minibus killing those inside.
