In Yemen, Jihadists and Iran Are Getting U.S. Weapons
(CNN) Nima Elbagir - Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners have transferred American-made weapons to al-Qaeda-linked fighters and Salafi militias in Yemen, in violation of their agreements with the U.S., a CNN investigation has found. The weapons have also made their way into the hands of Iranian-backed rebels, exposing sensitive American military technology to Tehran. The revelations raise fresh questions about whether Saudi Arabia is responsible enough to be allowed to continue buying sophisticated U.S. hardware.
