Talk:Sanaa funeral hall attack

In Syria, USA, KSA, etc. always accept the claim it was an airstrike and laugh at supposed "spontaneous combustion" In Yemen, they're sure the airstrike claims are untrue and there's a mysterious "other case." coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Ahmed Asiri told Arab News quite clearly "The Coalition is aware of such reports and is certain that it is possible that other causes of bombing is to be considered." They deny it.

Partial record of Saudi-coalition denials: 9 months ago Coalition denies using cluster bombs in Yemen, claiming a HRW report was "weak" and had no evidence. 8 months ago, Amnesty International found New Evidence Challenges Coalition's Denial It Used Cluster Munitions. " the spokesperson of the coalition’s military forces, General Ahmed al-Asiri, categorically denied that the coalition had ever used cluster munitions in attacks on Sana’a and claimed they had only used them in one attack in Yemen, on a military target in Hajjah in April 2015." But much evidence says they also bombed dawn worshippers in Sanaa with at least two deliberately dropped cluster bombs. 6 months ago, airstrike on a market (NYT) kills 106 3 weeks after another attack killed 39 civilians. "The Saudi-led coalition has repeatedly denied striking civilian targets," NYT reports, but a spokesman for the high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, said “It would seem that the coalition is responsible for twice as many civilian casualties as all other forces put together,” (which includes the Houthis and allies and also Al Qaeda forces and Islamic State).

Why such indiscriminate attacks? Terrorism. It says "any of you can die at any time, and we can deny it, and this will continue until we get our way, so start helping us get our way and we can be done with this sooner." The latest attack is perhaps a more strategic revenge attack, with the same terrorist aspect as a side-note. --Caustic Logic (talk) 01:27, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
