U.S. again bombs mourners :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [reg.de]

U.S. again bombs mourners :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [reg.de]: In February, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism documented that after the U.S. kills people with drones in Pakistan, it then targets for death those who show up at the scene to rescue the survivors and retrieve the bodies, as well as those who gather to mourn the dead at funerals: "the CIA’s drone campaign in Pakistan has killed dozens of civilians who had gone to help rescue victims or were attending funerals." As The New York Times summarized those findings: "at least 50 civilians had been killed in follow-up strikes after they rushed to help those hit by a drone-fired missile" while "the bureau counted more than 20 other civilians killed in strikes on funerals."
