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

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.
