A “SHAMEFUL” deal to sell 48 Typhoon fighter jets to Saudi Arabia will mean “even greater destruction for the people of Yemen,” anti-arms trade campaigners said yesterday.

The sale was announced at the end of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s three-day visit to Britain.

Saudi Arabia is Britain’s biggest arms customer, having licensed £4.6 billion-worth of equipment since beginning its bombardment of its southern neighbour Yemen in early 2015.
