Wow, I hadn’t heard about this school.
This type of bomb seems like the kind of thing you’d call a war crime even if not dropped on children.
Just designed for mass shrapnel damage and burns.
It’s weird they build these girl schools next to theirs military compounds but none of this was hidden info. The US should have done basic due diligence. And that’s giving them massive benefit of the doubt.
A lot of the schoolgirls and some teachers were family members of military personnel. (In the US, families often live "on base," I guess it's similar. The building was originally part of the compound but it was walled off when it was made into a school. It makes sense to me that ina place where girls and women are restricted from traveling, they'd need a school close to home.
