With regard to a report of the Amnesty International (October 2015) that the Coalition Air Forces bombed the main commercial street in Saada Province at 10:30 on /02/05/2015 which resulted in damages of the shops in street, killing of seven people and wounding of 10 others. After reviewing the facts, the JIAT found that intelligence information was available stating the target of a building of weapons warehouse and factory, controlled by armed Houthi militia, which is located on the commercial street in the city of Saada. By using a laser-guided bomb with greater accuracy, the bomb missed the target which was away about 60 meters due to a technical fault in the airplane which resulted in damages in the nearby buildings. In light of the above facts confirming that the incident was happened due to purely technical fault in the airplane, the JIAT recommended that the Coalition Forces are to apologize for the damages caused due to technical fault and to provide appropriate assistance to those affected. --More 20:07 LOCAL TIME 17:07 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w339343
