‘British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon has confirmed that British-made cluster bombs were used by Britain’s theocratic ally Saudi Arabia in its war against the Houthi rebel movement in Yemen.
Fallon addressed the controversial findings of the British government’s own inquiries in the House of Commons Monday, saying that while the UK has not supplied such weapons to Saudi Arabia since 1989, there were British-made cluster mutations dropped in Yemen during the conflict.
“That investigation has now concluded.
