US Drones Kill 15 in Yemen Wedding Convoy, mistaking them for al-Qaeda
By Juan Cole | Dec. 13, 2013

CIA operators of US drones in Yemen mistook a wedding convoy for al-Qaeda on Friday, killing 15 persons and wounding many others. Some 10 were killed immediately and 5 more died from their wounds.

Al-Quds al-`Arabi, a London-based daily, talked to a member of the wedding party, who said that it is impossible that the wedding party contained al-Qaeda operatives.

South Yemen has witnessed an intractable al-Qaeda presence.

1. Look, the bride could have potentially gotten pregnant and given birth to a child

who could have grown up to become a jihadist. I don't see what the problem is here.
