They were killed when the aircraft, assigned to U.S. Central Command Air Forces, dropped two laser-guided 500-lb joint direct attack munition guided bomb unit-12 bombs, destroying the terrorist safe house where the three were meeting.
It was the neighbor's fault.

That’s a large part of what FRWN is for; to get the Truth and the Good News out there that the Lame Stream Media Refuses to cover.

“The Laser JDAM sensor is a modular kit that is easily installed in the field to the front of existing JDAM weapons. The laser sensor further enhances the highly capable Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System JDAM into one of the most mission flexible, low-cost weapons available in the world today.”

I can envision one of these things which would be activated by remote. The thingie would be encased in a bunch of flexible, sticky goo and fired out of a poofy gun (like a grenade launcher) and would then stick to the side of the target structure.
If the shooter misses, don’t activate it. If he/she (excuse me) hits it, do activate it and seek cover.

"JDAM s are GPS guided, not laser." From the story above...
"dropped two laser-guided 500-lb joint direct attack munition guided bomb"
Lazer JDAMs gives the option of using either laser or GPS on the target. Ground conditions dictate which to use.
More on laser JDAMs here.

Thanks, learned something new. I’ve been away from the guys who build those sorts of things for around 10 years now, I guess I’ve gotten behind. Never been involved in air to mud munitions myself, air to air and keeping aircraft from becoming one with the mud have been my thing.

Boy, I sure hope this attack was run by one of our million douche bag lawyers otherwise these brave soldiers are next in line for some legal lynching. Did the NYSlimes give prior approval?

Isn't the Internet grand? Just a few days, after these guys get sent on their permanent visit to Allah, and we get to watch the home movies of it. Three days, or less, from KaBoom to "pass the popcorn". (bombing on 25th, posted on YouTube the 28th). Was probably available even earlier if one could find it, maybe on the CentCom or Air Force sites. Here's the first
CentCom Press release on the incident.
Interestingly the still shots of the attack were also put up on the 28th on the Air Force site, so maybe YouTube got is ASAP.
