Tragic death of Iranian school girls

Radio NZ reports:

US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation, two US officials told Reuters.

If the deaths were caused by the US, this was one of the worst mishaps in modern warfare. It is a tragedy for the families involved.

There is no suggestion it was deliberate, but that is little comfort to the parents who have the unimaginable horror of having to bury their children.

I hope there is a full investigation into what happened, if for no other reason than to minimise it reoccuring.
