Air strike kills 15 civilians in Yemen by mistake: (Reuters) - Fifteen people including children on their way to a wedding in Yemen were killed in an air strike after their party was mistaken for an al Qaeda convoy, local security officials said on Thursday.Five more people were injured, the officials said.Murdering innocent people isn't OK, even if the media doesn't care as long as it's Obama doing the killing.
The United States has stepped up drone strikes as part of a campaign against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), regarded by Washington as the most active wing of the militant network. Human Rights Watch said in a detailed report in August that U.S. missile strikes, including armed drone attacks, have killed dozens of civilians in Yemen. On Monday, missiles fired from a U.S. drone killed at least three people travelling in a car in eastern Yemen.
