UK must keep supporting Yemen campaign to prevent terror in West, says Saudi foreign minister.
Britain must continue to support Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against Yemen to prevent the country being used to launch a fresh series of terror attacks against the West, the Saudi foreign minister has warned.
Al-Qaeda terror cells based in Yemen have been responsible for plotting numerous attacks against the West, including attempts to place bombs hidden in computer ink cartridges on cargo planes.
But questions have been raised about Britain’s continued military support for the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen after human rights groups claimed British-made munitions were responsible for the rising civilian death toll in Yemen’s brutal civil war.
The parliamentary committee on arms export controls is meeting this week to finalise a report that is expected to criticise Saudi Arabia’s 10-month bombing campaign in Yemen, with a cross-party coalition of MPs expected to demand the government ends arms sales to Riyadh.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has already rejected claims British arms exports have been used against civilians in Saudi air strikes, and insisted the UK will go on selling weapons to Riyadh.

Довольно показательно использование оборота must. Эр-Рияду все должны. Там далее по ссылке рассуждения у том, что Иран находится в изоляции, и признание того факта что Асад при поддержке России и Ирана укрепил свои позиции.
Но показателен факт того, что Эр-Рияд начал завуалированно угрожать Британии терактами, если та не поставит Эр-Рияду оружие.
Похоже у Западной Европы и США появился еще один назойливый защитник, теперь и на Востоке.
