Tragedy

Who did our intelligence people rely on that turned this incisive military exercise into the demise of seventeen "innocent" people?

Thousands of people took to the streets in major Pakistani cities Sunday to protest the U.S. missile strike Friday that was intended to kill al Qaeda deputy Ayman Zawahiri but missed its target and killed 17 persons [or 13--it's unclear], including six women and six children.

Bold added. Did we miss the target or did we hit the target but miss Zawahiri? In this two-page story, the government's response gets about three sentences. I wonder if the government is slow to respond to news inquiries like this or was it just not given any space in the story. Either way, we're not getting the full story.
