By committing war crimes in Yemen, Saudi Arabia is actually playing into the hands of Western powers that seek to secure oil benefits and power in the Middle East, says an analyst.

At least 13 people were killed and over 90 others sustained injuries after Saudi-led warplanes launched aerial assaults against an area in Sa'wan district in Sana'a province on Sunday evening.

The United Nations has called for a thorough investigation into the killing of over a dozen civilians.

Syed Mohsin Abbas, journalist and commentator, told Press TV on Wednesday that “it (the massacre of schoolchildren) is not an accident with precision weapons that the Zio-Western imperialist powers have,” but “ultimately part of a strategy.”

“This kind of moral ambivalence within the West towards arming those kind of tyrants and oppressors within the Middle East as proxies for delivery of their own policies in that region primarily to secure oil and power is absolutely diabolical,” Abbas argued.
