Yemen: 20 Killed in U.S.-Backed, Saudi-Led Airstrikes
-----------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, officials say more than 20 people have been killed by
U.S.-backed, Saudi-led airstrikes following the collapse of
U.N.-sponsored peace talks. Health Ministry officials say at least 10
civilians were killed in the capital Sana'a, which was bombed for the
first time in five months. With U.S. backing, Saudi Arabia has been
bombing Yemen for over a year, causing the majority of the conflict's
civilian casualties.
