Al Qaeda militants began to pull out of two southern Yemeni cities on Thursday, residents said, following weeks of mediation by tribesmen for them to depart peacefully rather than resist a Gulf-backed offensive.
Dozens of fighters in Zinjibar and Jaar, the two largest towns in southwestern Abyan province, were seen leaving the city streets with their weapons to the surrounding countryside.
