Saudis transferring US weapons to Qaeda in Yemen, report reveals
Tehran (Basirat) :Saudi Arabia is “transferring” American weapons to al-Qaeda terrorists and Salafi militias in Yemen, a report reveals.
Saudi and its main accomplice in the war on Yemen, the UAE, "have used the
US-manufactured weapons as a form of currency to buy the loyalties of militias
or tribes, bolster chosen armed actors, and influence the complex political
landscape,” CNN said in a report Monday, citing local commanders on the ground
and analysts.
The report added that Houthi Ansarullah fighters have also managed to gain
access to the weapons "exposing some of America's sensitive military technology
to Tehran.”
During his maiden state visit, US President Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia
where he signed a massive $110 billion arms deal with the oil-rich kingdom.
