BERLIN: German police have arrested two Algerians they suspect of links to the Islamic State group and are hunting for two others in operations in Berlin and other regions, they said on Thursday.

The four are suspected of having planned a "serious act threatening the security of the state", police said.

Earlier today, the leader of the extremist Islamic State group in Yemen was killed in a drone strike, residents and officials said.

They said the strike targeted a car in which Jalal Baleedi and two of his aides were travelling in on a road between the towns of Zinjibar and Shaqra in southern Yemen.
