Amnesty International: U.S.-Made Bomb Killed Yemeni Civilians
-------------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, Amnesty International is reporting that the bomb that
destroyed a residential building in the capital Sana'a last month,
killing 16 civilians and injuring 17 more, was made in the U.S.A.
Amnesty International's arms expert analyzed remnants of the weapon and
found clear markings that matched U.S.-made components used in
laser-guided, air-dropped bombs. The attack severely injured 5-year-old
Buthaina, whose five brothers and sisters were among the seven children
killed in the strike. We'll have more on the Amnesty report and the
U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war on Yemen after headlines.
