American photojournalist is killed in failed special forces rescue attempt against al-Qaeda captors who were holding him in Yemen

Lucy Somers said she learned of her 33-year-old brother Luke Somers' death from FBI agents. There was no immediate comment from Washington, nor from security officials in Yemen's capital, Sanaa.

Mr Somers (pictured left and centre), a British-born U.S photojournalist, was kidnapped in Sanaa (bottom right) in September 2013.
