Yemen: U.S.-Backed, Saudi-Led Strike Kills 5 Near Elementary School
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, a U.S.-backed, Saudi-led airstrike has killed five people near
an elementary school in northern Yemen. At least two children were
killed in the bombing. Despite concerns about being implicated in
possible war crimes, the United States has continued to sell warplanes
and munitions to the Saudi-led coalition throughout its bombing campaign
in Yemen, and U.S.-made munitions have been found at the scene of
Saudi-led bombings where civilians have been killed.
