40+ killed in US missile strike on 'AQ leaders' in Idlib

I'd be rather curious to know how many were actually so called Al-Qaeda as opposed to poor smucks who had the misfortune to be holding shovels or just near by..

I didnt take you for whataboutery? Least of all irrelevant whataboutery?
One is part of a civil war trying to expel IS et al. from their state with legal assistance from an ally. This is a violation of all the most basic tenets of international law. Plus, i'm sure youre familiar with the disgraceful way in which the WH/Pentagon books anyone killed as terrorist despite the fact most of them arent?
