The attack brings the number of boats the US has blown up since the bombing campaign started in early September to 44. According to the monitoring group Airwars, the strike brings the total number of people killed by the boat strikes to 147, a figure that accounts for people the US military said survived the initial strike and were never rescued.
Airwars and The Intercept reported last week that after the US bombed a boat hundreds of miles off the coast of the Mexico-Guatemala border on December 30, eight survivors jumped overboard and eventually died since a US rescue plane didn’t arrive in the area until about 45 hours later.
“SOUTHCOM doesn’t want these people alive,” an unnamed US government official told The Intercept. The official said that survivors create “complications and questions” for the US military and US intelligence agencies, and that it would be easier for them to drown.
It is an illegal terrorist campaign and democrats are where? The entire system is totally broken and corrupt. Good luck, citizens of America you’re gonna need it
