Deadly Attack On Yemen Funeral Based On Incorrect Information: Investigation

Saudi-led warplanes decimated a a funeral in Sanaa. Khaled Abdullah/Reuters RIYADH - The Saudi-led coalition attacked a funeral in Yemen after receiving incorrect information that armed Houthi leaders were in the area, an investigative body set up by the coalition said on Saturday. The Saudi-led campaign in Yemen has come under severe criticism since last Saturday’s air strike hit the funeral gathering in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, killing 140 people according to one U.N. estimate and 82 according to the Houthis. Mourners killed in the attack included some of Yemen’s top political and security officials, outraging Yemeni society and potentially galvanizing powerful tribes to join the Houthis in opposing a Saudi-backed exiled government. The Joint Incidents Assessment Team said in the statement that the coalition’s Air Operations Centre in Yemen also failed to obtain approval for the strike from commanders, a violation of protocol.
