Yemeni official: US collaborating in killing Yemeni people
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, May 4, IRNA -- Head of the Yemeni Supreme Revolutionary Committee accused the US of collaborating in the aggression on the Arab country and killing Yemeni people.
The presence of US forces in a Saudi Arabian region bordering Yemen shows that this is the US that is killing Yemeni people, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi wrote on his twitter account.
He also said that the US has never taken the right side of any conflict throughout the history, and has always confronted the nations and their will.
The American daily New York Times on Thursday reported that US Special Forces are secretly supporting Saudi Arabia in the war on Yemen.
'Late last year, a team of about a dozen Green Berets arrived on Saudi Arabia's border with Yemen, in a continuing escalation of America's secret wars,' the report read.
'They appear to contradict Pentagon statements that American military assistance to the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen is limited to aircraft refueling, logistics and general intelligence sharing,' the daily wrote.
A military intervention in Yemen was launched in 2015 by Saudi Arabia, accompanied by a number of other Arab states and supported by West, particularly the US.
The bombings have claimed lives of thousands of Yemeni civilians, including hundreds of children.
Human rights groups have frequently accused Saudi Arabia of violating basic rights of the people of Yemen, as the coalition has bombarded many civilian places, including schools and hospitals.
