'Narcoterrorists' of the Carribean? US strike leaves survivors for the first time — why it could become a headache for Donald Trump
On Thursday, the US military launched another strike against what it described as a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean. But unlike previous operations — all of which ended with the total destruction of boats and the deaths of everyone on board — this one left survivors, a US official confirmed to Reuters. It’s unclear whether the survivors were rescued, if they’re receiving medical aid, or whether they are now in US custody — possibly as prisoners of war. The Pentagon has not commented.
