YAMAN - According to documents obtained by Reuters, US government lawyers warned Washington last year that might be considered a "co-belligerent" in Saudi war under international law.

The US State Department officials were skeptical of the ability of the Saudi military to prevent the killing of civilians and destruction of "infrastructure" in attacks on Yemen, according to e-mail and other records as well as interviews with nearly a dozen US government officials.

Nevertheless, the US government continues to authorize the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, as well as a number of documents show the arms deal in May 2015 to February 2016.

During that period, the US State Department official mensetujui precision munitions sales to Saudi Arabia to fill the bombs used in Yemen.

In one of the emails obtained by Reuters, based on the specific reference made to the copy of the judgment in 2013 the war crimes trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor is dramatically expanding the definition of international law, including aiding and abetting in the crime.

According to the verdict, "practical assistance, encouragement or moral support" enough to define war crimes. The US and the UK are the main supporters of Saudi Arabia in the war against the poor state of Yemen. ( See also : Associated with Gulen, 12 Thousand More Police in Turkey get suspension )

On Saturday, more than 700 people were killed after the Saudi military aircraft attacked the funeral hall in Sana'a, Yemen.
