UK Ignoring Saudi War Crimes to Sell Weapons

December|Yamanoon

Yemen’s new Prime Minister Abdulaziz bin Habtoor has accused Britain of war crimes over its arms sale to Saudi Arabia. According to the prime minister, the British have sold cluster bombs to the Saudi kingdom to drop on the Yemeni people in Sana’a, Sa’ada and other provinces. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have reported the use of illegal Western-made cluster bombs by the Saudis in Yemen.

Ian Williams, a senior analyst with the Foreign Policy in Focus from New York, told Press TV’s Top 5 that the British officials do not care what Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen, because “they like the money and the influence” that the Saudis give them.
