Coalition airstrike kills 26 at Yemen wedding

SANAA, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Warplanes of the Saudi-led coalition hit a wedding celebration in Yemen's southwestern province of Dhamar Wednesday night, killing 26 civilians and wounding dozens, medical sources told Xinhua.


The airstrike hit the house of a tribal leader who allegedly supports the Shiite Houthi group in Sanaban village in Dhamar province, about 100 km southeast of the capital Sanaa.

Medics and rescuers said 26 people at the wedding ceremony were killed, including seven children, while more than 40 others were wounded, including 15 children and 17 women.

It was the second airstrike on a wedding party in Yemen in over a week. On Sept. 28, coalition warplanes bombed two wedding tents in the southern province of Taiz, killing at least 131 people, which is the deadliest attack on civilians in the six-month civil war.

Dang...targeting wedding parties...how low can you go?

If the West would just pull out of that region...they would likely kill themselves off until the last group standing would be more willing to abide by rules which govern civilized human behavior...

On the other hand...maybe not.

Surprise! Where be the Rednecks to defend this ? Coalition? Is that better than a Junta? Or is it a demonstration of pure Democratic principles according to dictate?

The coalition in Yemen consists of the following nations:

Saudi Arabia

Egypt

Jordan

Morocco

United Arab Emirates

Sudan

Kuwait

Qatar

Bahrain

I doubt very many "rednecks" would want to comment on this thread.

PS: Love your user name. Very appropriate.
