I realize we are all just 'funnin' here but from the article (which I'm pretty sure you didn't read) these people were Christian Missionaries and it was the mission house that was destroyed. The man was also the son of retired Rear Adm. Frank Thorp. Part of a military family who was working to help others in a third world country. Some mission workers are still missing ... but I guess jumping to conclusions can become a habit for some people.
Ooops ... You were accidently targeted by my rant ... Sorry.
