The State Department is looking into allegations that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are transferring American-made armored vehicles being to armed Yemeni groups with possible terrorist affiliations, according to a letter released Tuesday by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
“The Department of State takes these allegations very seriously and is working closely with partner nations to determine whether there were any such unauthorized transfers,” reads the Nov. 19 letter (pdf) from Mary Elizabeth Taylor, the assistant secretary of State for Legislative Affairs.
