Pentagon: U.S. Approves $1 Billion Weapons Sale to Saudi Arabia
---------------------------------------------------------------

possible $1 billion weapons deal to Saudi Arabia. The deal would include
more than 150 tanks and hundreds of machine guns. Human rights
organizations have been pressing Congress to block arms sales to Saudi
Arabia over the Saudi-led coalition strikes in Yemen.
