A Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said on Saturday it accepted that an air attack last month that killed dozens of people, including children traveling on a bus, was unjustified and pledged to hold accountable anyone who contributed to the error.<\/h4>\n

The rare concession follows mounting international pressure, including from allies, to do more to limit civilian casualties in a 3-1\/2 year civil war that has killed more than 10,000 people and pushed the already impoverished country to the brink of famine.<\/h4>\n

The Joint Incident Assessment Team (JIAT), an investigative body set up by the coalition, said on Saturday that the strikes had been based on intelligence indicating the bus was a legitimate military target, but delays in executing the strike and receiving a no-strike order should be further investigated.<\/h4>\n

\u201cThere was a clear delay in preparing the fighter jet at the appropriate time and place, thus losing (the opportunity) to target this bus as a military target in an open area in order to avoid such collateral damage,\u201d JIAT legal advisor Mansour Ahmed al-Mansour told reporters in the Saudi capital.<\/h4>\n

\u201cThe team believes that the coalition forces should immediately review the application of their rules of engagement to ensure compliance,\u201d he added, Reuters reported.<\/h4>\n

In the same context, An international aid group says it has not been able to deliver medical and humanitarian assistance to the people in the Yemeni capital, Sana\u2019a, due to Riyadh’s ongoing war in the country.<\/h4>\n
