AN American and a South African have been killed as US forces tried to free them from al-Qaeda in Yemen, with President Barack Obama accusing the militants of “barbaric murder”.

Mr Obama said he had authorised the joint attempt involving US special forces to rescue American photojournalist Luke Somers because his life was believed to be “in imminent danger”.

South African teacher Pierre Korkie was also killed in the raid, which came just a day before he was due to be freed after more than a year in captivity, according to a charity that had been negotiating his release.

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula had on Thursday threatened to execute Somers, 33, who was kidnapped more than a year ago in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, within three days if Washington failed to meet unspecified demands.
