[QUOTE]The death toll from an air strike on a wedding party in Yemen has jumped to 131, medics said on Tuesday, in one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in Yemen's war that drew strong condemnation from the U.N. secretary-general.
A Saudi-led Arab coalition that has air supremacy over Yemen has strongly denied any role in the wedding party carnage, and a coalition spokesman suggested that local militias may have fired the projectiles.
The U.S.-backed coalition has been targeting the Iranian-allied Houthis mostly by air across Yemen since March with the goal of ousting the war's dominant armed faction from regions it has seized since last year, including the capital Sanaa in the north, and to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Residents said on Monday that two missiles tore through tents in the Red Sea village of Al-Wahijah, near the ancient port of Al-Mokha, where a local man affiliated with the Houthi group was holding his wedding reception.
The area is deemed the gateway to the Bab al-Mandeb strait connecting the Red Sea with the Arabian Sea, a vital route for oil tanker and other maritime traffic between Asia and Europe.
A resident of Al-Wahijah had said on Monday that 12 women, eight children and seven men had died in the air strike, and a local official put the death toll at 30.
Arab coalition spokesman Brigadier-General Ahmed al-Asseri said there had been no air operations in the area in the al-Mokha area for three days so[B] "this is totally false news".[/B]

:mystery:
Don't worry guys, the UN Human Rights Council is sure to be outraged by this.
[i]And remember, Saudi Arabia is bombing Yemen for the good of their people. Because you know, this is the way to resolve problems.[/i]
Saudi Arabia knows that the key to human rights is to blow up, chemically maime, and murder as many civilians as possible.
This is why they were appointed champions of the very best representatives for compassion for human life.
Unfortunately I feel that within the next decade Saudi Arabia is going to change from being a covert menace to being an overt menace on the world, and this is just the beginning.
I just wonder whats going through the peoples heads when they kill civilians like this. Like what the fuck is going through their heads as they kill children?

I bet they have a guy swatting himself with a whip in a dark room continuously saying "there is peace in death! there is peace in death! there is peace in death!" and all the new guys taking notes from it.

[i]They are only collateral victims, is their fault they used civilians as human shields, not ours. This is acceptable.[/i]
