Yemen: U.S.-Made Bombs Linked to String of Civilian Deaths

Shrapnel found at attack sites reveals U.S. origin.

Shrapnel found at the sites of attacks in Yemen that have maimed and killed civilians has revealed some of the bombs were U.S.-made. An independent Yemen-based human-rights group called Mwatana provided photographic evidence to CNN that shows fragments of bombs made in the U.S. at the scene of a string of incidents that endangered civilians. The group photographed bomb fragments and consulted weapons experts to identify their origins based on the serial numbers on the shrapnel. Mwatana’s chairwoman, Radhya al-Mutawakel, told CNN that the U.S. has a “legal and moral responsibility for selling weapons to the Saudi-led coalition” that are worsening the civil war in Yemen. “Yemeni civilians are dying every day because of this war and you [America] are fueling this war.”
