@SeumasMilne I don't know myself, but story you link to includes claims that two were AQ, and that 16 year old was not target.
@SeumasMilne Did you know? Most see targeting civilian demonstrators as different to targeting AQ org. which deliberately targets civilians.
kelliestrom Kellie Strøm
@SeumasMilne Yes, misleading, link to article on teenage demonstrators injured by rockets. If not misleading, why you get multiple queries?
kelliestrom Kellie Strøm
@SeumasMilne Slippery misuse of valuable journalism by @tomfinn2 - but in keeping with your reputation.

.@nanouk_54 That @SeumasMilne tweet is very misleading: twitter.com/#!/SeumasMilne… Clarification from @tomfinn2 here: t.co/IXsJW2lQ
@SeumasMilne - Please give source of US drones killing teenagers - That info is not in the link you posted
kelliestrom Kellie Strøm
@tomfinn2 Tweet says "teenagers" - plural like teenagers in piece, not singular as in Awlaki's son? Plus, "while" = last week?? @SeumasMilne
kelliestrom Kellie Strøm
@tomfinn2 Very misleading. Suggests US directly implicated in killings of protesters in way which would be very big news. @SeumasMilne
kelliestrom Kellie Strøm
@tomfinn2 @SeumasMilne Piece says "three teenage protesters severely wounded" in Change Square. Are you suggesting this was US drone strike?

@tomfinn2 Can't find reference to drones or US in your story? @SeumasMilne
