Senate Rejects Bill to End U.S. Involvement in Saudi-Led Bombing of Yemen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S.-Saudi arms deal comes as the Senate rejected a bipartisan
resolution to end the U.S. military involvement in Yemen within 30 days,
unless Congress formally authorizes the military action. The vote was 44
to 55, with 10 Democrats joining the Republican majority to block the
legislation and Arizona Senator John Mc Cain not casting a vote.
