Yemen: U.S.-Backed Saudi Coalition Intensifies Bombing Campaign After Saleh's Death
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition has intensified its
bombing campaign following the killing of former President Ali Abdullah
Saleh. He was killed earlier this week by Houthi rebels after he
switched sides in the ongoing war and threw his support to the Saudi-led
coalition. The Saudi-led coalition has launched dozens of airstrikes
against the Houthis in the capital Sana'a today.
