CNN turned its focus to a crisis that is getting little coverage in on American cable news: the bloody conflict in Yemen, fought between Houthi rebels and the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s government.

The latest attack in Yemen to make headlines in the United States was the bombing of a school bus that officials said killed 54 people, 44 of them children, on August 9.

CNN reported that bomb used in the attack was supplied by the United States.

The weapon was “a 500-pound (227 kilogram) laser-guided MK 82 bomb” manufactured by U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin, per CNN.

“The bomb is very similar to the one that wreaked devastation in an attack on a funeral hall in Yemen in October 2016 in which 155 people were killed and hundreds more wounded,” the outlet wrote.

CNN ran a segment on the bombing that examined other attacks by the Saudi coalition that left civilian casualties, and the manufacturers of the bombs used in those strikes.

The US has always been good at exporting instruments of death!!! One day those very same devices will be used on Americans by our "allies" in the Middle East!!!

3. Truly it is not the media propaganda of the "Saudi-led coalition", it is American led.

Criminal Killing by proxy.
