US bomb pieces found at Yemen bus strike site as Pentagon says ‘we may never know’ who supplied it
Tehran (Basirat) :A Raytheon Mark 82 general-purpose free-fall bomb was likely used by the Saudi-led coalition to strike a bus full of children in Yemen on Thursday, a local journalist claims, after bomb fragments from the scene were recovered.
The Saudi-led coalition struck a school bus in the Dahyan area of the Houthi-controlled
Saada province last Thursday, leaving 51 dead, most of them children, and
injuring at least 79 others. Just as the dust was settling at the scene of the
strike with charred bodies being recovered, locals found fragments of the bomb
used in the strike.
Harrowing images from the site, shared by journalist Nasser Arrabyee, show
fragments that appear to be from the 500-pound MK-82 bomb, which the US
continues to sell to Saudi Arabia.
While the photo of the fragments has yet to be independently verified, pieces of MK 82 bombs have surfaced repeatedly amid the ongoing Yemen bombing campaign. The MK-82 made shocking headlines in 2016 when the Saudi-led coalition bombed a community hall in Sanaa during a funeral for Sheikh Ali al-Rawishan, killing more than 140 people and wounding 525 others.
