Saudi ship on suspected weapons voyage arrives in France A Saudi cargo ship on a suspected mission to collect weapons for use in the war in Yemen arrives in the French port of Cherbourg. The Bahri Yanbu arrived at around 5 pm (1600 GMT) in Cherbourg, where dozens of activists held a protest over the sale of arms to Riyadh given its involvement in the brutal Yemeni conflict. NGOs had succeeded in preventing the ship from docking in France last May, when it was set to receive a weapons shipment for Riyadh that sparked a similar outcry. IMAGES
