Civilian-Style Aircraft Used in Covert Strike on Venezuelan Drug Boat
The Pentagon reportedly used a secret aircraft painted to resemble a civilian plane to strike a boat off Venezuela suspected of drug trafficking, killing 11; legal experts warn such actions could constitute perfidy and violate the laws of armed conflict, while the administration argues the strikes were lawful under a noninternational armed conflict; details about the aircraft remain undisclosed and follow-up strikes killed more survivors.
