In April news emerged that two Australians were killed in Yemen as part of what is said to have been an anti-terror operation. Christopher Havard and Darryl Jones - a dual citizen of New Zealand - were reportedly among five members of al-Qaeda killed in a drone strike.
They were the first Australians ever to have been killed by the US Drone programme.
