“We found shortcomings in two cases while the rest were in line with worldwide humanitarian law”, said the team’s Bahraini spokesman, Mansur Al Mansur.

The night before, Kerry met for three hours with Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is also Saudi Arabia’s defense minister.

Bilateral cooperation between the States and the Kingdom across various fields was discussed, as well as the latest regional developments.

Kerry told reporters during his visit to Saudi Arabia to discuss with Arab allies and United Nations officials means to end the conflict that he hoped a new goal of establishing a unity government would succeed where other peace efforts have failed.

“And we review our measures and procedures to ensure that we minimize them”, Jubeir said at a joint press conference with US Secretary of State John Kerry after a meeting between the two diplomats. Mr Kerry is scheduled for talks with the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, in Geneva on Friday.

On Yemen, a senior State Department official said, Kerry “shared ideas and initiatives for getting the political discussions back on track and trying to get a political solution”. Some 3 million people have also been displaced inside the Arab world’s poorest country.

“The goal of our meetings was, quite simply, to see if together we could find a way to end the violence of Yemen, to end the war, and to address the deeply troubling situation there”, Mr Kerry told reporters before leaving Jiddah. “They go hand in hand but you need a reduction in violence”, the official said.

As of August 23, an estimated 3,799 civilians had been killed and 6,711 injured since a Saudi-led Arab coalition began air raids in March past year in support of Yemen’s internationally recognized government and President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.

Those talks focused on Yemen as well as the conflicts in Libya and Syria.

No group has claimed responsibility for Thursday’s attack.

The call from Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein came as his Geneva office released a 22-page report chronicling abuses on both sides in the conflict, which pits the internationally recognized Yemeni government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, against Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, and their allies.

BP said it began securing offshore facilities and evacuating non-essential personnel from our platforms and drilling rigs in the US Gulf. However, Kerry stopped short of asking the rebels to meet those requirements before the formation of the new government, a key demand of the exiled politicians.
