Britain investigating reports its cluster bombs used in Yemen

Britain is urgently investigating reports that cluster munitions made in the country had been used by a Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, foreign minister Philip Hammond told parliament on Tuesday. A report published by Amnesty International on Monday said it had documented the use of cluster bombs in Yemen that had been manufactured in Britain in the 1970s. "The MoD (Ministry of Defence) is now urgently investigating the allegations that have been made," Hammond told parliament.
