Washington, February 7 (RHC)-- A new report by CNN finds that Saudi Arabia gave U.S.-made weapons to al-Qaeda-linked fighters and other militant factions in Yemen, in violation of a U.S.-Saudi arms deal. 

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are reportedly using the weapons to buy the loyalties of various militias or tribes and gain influence in Yemen’s political landscape.  According to the report, a U.S. defense official confirmed to CNN that there is an ongoing investigation into the matter.
