The Loss of Possibly Innocent Lives

BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | US strikes 'wrong' Iraqi target: "An American air strike in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul has hit the wrong target, the US military has admitted.

The bomb demolished a house in Aaytha, killing 14 people, according to local officials. The US put the toll at five.

The military said it 'deeply regrets the loss of possibly innocent lives', and promised an investigation."

Possibly innocent? They bombed the wrong house, but the people inside were only 'possibly innocent'?
