Civilians killed in US 'precision strike'

--

Reuters quotes the US military as saying: "There were no innocent civilians reported in the immediate area at the time of the strike. Multinational forces took multiple measures to minimise collateral damage and civilian casualties."

Reuters Television pictures showed rescuers pulling survivors out of the ruins of a destroyed house. Two women and one young child were among those rescued from the rubble.

I reckon your poster picture could feature the words
BBC: "There were no civilian casualties in the vicinity of the (air) strike."

Powerful message...I'd be up for plastering a few of these around BBL, near the evil war monger local MP's residence.

Civilian deaths are a tragedy. Yet doesn't it comfort you at night to think that billions of dollars are being poured into military R & D to create even more precise weapons?
