HRW: Remnants of U.S. Weapons Found at Site of Yemen Airstrike That Killed 30 Civilians

HeadlineDec 08, 2016

In Yemen, thousands of people took to the streets of the capital Sana’a Tuesday to demand an end to the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign, which has killed thousands of people since it began 19 months ago. A new Human Rights Watch report details how U.S.-supplied weapons were used in two recent Saudi-led airstrikes that killed several dozen civilians this fall. The attacks include a September 10 airstrike against a drilling site for water that killed more than 30 people, including three children. Remnants of U.S.-made weapons were found at the scene of this strike.
