The American mainstream media remain largely silent as the CIA is pounding Yemen with drone strikes killing at least 49 people in two weeks, says political analyst and writer Linh Dinh from Philadelphia.

“Under the cover of the ‚War on Terror‘, the US has been very busy killing many Yemenis by drones, 49 in the last two weeks alone, but these deaths are thoroughly ignored by the American media,” Dinh told Press TV on Saturday.

“As in Pakistan, drone strikes in Yemen routinely kill civilians, even infants,” he added.
