| #1 March 2, 2010: The government apologized for a December 17th air raid in the south, which killed 42 civilians. It was originally reported as an attack on an al Qaeda meeting, that killed 30 terrorists. That was later amended to two dead terrorists. Now the government admits that the air strike only killed civilians. News of the raid spread the old fashioned way (as gossip), and the government realized it was better off coming clean, and offering the traditional cash compensation. |
