Washington Provides Bombs for Yemen Chaos The Morning Star, London, 18 November 2015 The US government will sell bombs worth $1.3 billion (£850 million) to Saudi Arabia to continue its military campaign in Yemen. The State Department said on Monday that the package included several laser-guided bombs and other models. A statement said the deal “replenishes” weapons stocks depleted by Saudi Arabia’s eight-month bombing campaign and recent ground invasion of Yemen, which has brought the country to the brink of collapse with millions facing starvation. Riyadh and its coalition of smaller regional powers is trying to reinstate president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who was deposed in January by Houthi Ansar Allah forces. Ansar Allah killed 44 Hadi loyalists in an ambush in the port of Mocha on Monday, while 13 were killed in nearby Taiz, where air strikes were claimed to have killed 40 Houthis. The Iranian Fars news agency reported that dozens of Hadi fighters were killed in Taiz yesterday by “friendly fire” from coalition jets.
