    Default Brit munitions used in Yemen atrocity with Boris Johnson's blessing

    UN experts discover British-made bomb parts in Yemen
    Guidance unit for ‘high explosive bomb’ found at site in Yemen capital


    A United Nations panel of experts has uncovered fragments of British-made laser guidance missile systems at an air raid site in Yemen in a strike that it concluded breached international humanitarian law.

    The attacks took place in September 2016, a month after the then foreign secretary Boris Johnson said he was content to allow the export of weapons systems to Saudi Arabia in the expectation they would be used in Yemen.

    UK Conservatives are war-mongering assholes. The sooner that Brits elect the opposition leader the better.

    Meanwhile- Johnson should answer to expected war crime charges.

    Houthis: Saudi-led coalition bombs Yemen prison, kills dozens
    Houthi officials accuse Saudi-UAE-coalition of carrying out air raids that hit detention centre in Dhamar.




    Dozens of people have been killed when a Saudi-UAE-led military coalition battling the Houthi rebel movement bombed a prison in western Yemen, according to the rebels.

    Yusuf al-Hadri, a spokesman for the Houthis' ministry of health, said at least 60 people were killed in Sunday's air raids which hit a complex used as a detention centre north of Dhamar city

    Fifty people were wounded, he told the rebel-run Al Masirah TV, adding that 185 prisoners of war were being held overall at the Dhamar Community College.

    Nazem Saleh was among those held at the facility. "We were sleeping and around midnight, there were maybe three, or four, or six strikes," he told The Associated Press news agency.

    "They were targeting the jail, I really don't know the strike numbers ... We were 100 persons on the ground level and around 150 on the upper level," he said while on a stretcher in a local hospital.

    Earlier, Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam had said in a Twitter post that the toll was 50 people killed and more than 100 wounded.

    In a statement carried on Saudi state television, the coalition said it had launched air raids on Houthi military targets in Dhamar and destroyed a site storing drones and missiles.

    US, France, Britain may be complicit in Yemen war crimes: UN

    UN investigators have also compiled secret list of 160 'main actors' among Saudi, Emirati and Yemeni top brass.

    The United States, United Kingdom and France may be complicit in war crimes in Yemen by arming and providing intelligence and logistics support to a Saudi-led coalition that starves civilians as a war tactic, the United Nations has said.

    A UN panel announced on Tuesday that investigators compiled a secret list of possible international war crimes suspects, drawn from their latest report into violations during the four-year conflict between a coalition of Arab states and the Houthi movement that controls Yemen's capital.
