US weapons sold to allies but end up with enemies

Amnesty International says the United Arab Emirates has secretly armed rebel groups in Yemen with advanced weapons bought from the United States.

The rebel groups include the Giants, the Security Belt and Elite Forces that are trained and funded by the UAE.

US commanders say there’s no authorisation for the redirection of the arms.

UAE hasn’t commented on the investigation

Presenter: Sami Zeidan
