New Details Emerge About U.S.-Backed Bombing of Schoolchildren in Yemen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, new details are emerging about the U.S.-backed Saudi-led
bombing massacre of school children in Yemen's northern Saada province
Thursday. The United Nations says the airstrike hit a bus carrying
children from a summer camp, killing and injuring dozens of children.
Most of the victims were between 10 and 13 years old. This is eyewitness
Moussa Abdullah.

Moussa Abdullah: "The strike happened in the middle of the market and it
targeted a bus carrying children. Our shops were open and shoppers were
walking around as usual. All of those who died were residents, children
and shop owners."

The U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is calling for an
independent investigation into the attack.
