Experts urge release of boat strike video as US admiral denies ‘kill them all’ order
AI Summary
US lawmakers are investigating a September 2nd attack on a boat in the Caribbean, where 11 people died, amid allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of survivors. Admiral Frank Bradley denied issuing a "kill them all" order during a closed-door briefing with House and Senate committees. While some lawmakers defended the strikes as righteous, others expressed concern after viewing video of the incident. The attack, which killed two survivors of an initial airstrike, was part of a series targeting boats allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela. Although video of the initial strike was released, footage of the second strike remains unreleased, prompting calls from experts and others for its public release to determine the appropriateness of the military action.
