AQAP confirmes one of its leaders death

A U.S. drone strike killed the top cleric from the al-Qaida branch in Yemen, the group announced Tuesday.
AQAP confirmes one of its leaders death
 
Ibrahim al-Rubaish joined al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula after being transferred in 2006 from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to his native Saudi Arabia for a rehabilitation program. 

He was considered the group's main ideologue and theological adviser, and his writings and sermons were prominent in its publications.

U.S. officials – who in October offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture and in December named him a global terrorist – have not publicly confirmed his death.
