U.S.-Backed, Saudi-Led Coalition Blamed for Attack That Killed 42 Migrants
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting that U.N. investigators blame the
U.S.-backed, Saudi-led military coalition for a deadly attack on a
Somali migrant boat off Yemen in March that killed 42 people and injured
32 others. Reuters cited a confidential U.N. report that found the
attack violated international humanitarian law. It blamed a U.S.-made
helicopter gunship operated by Saudi Arabia for the assault.
