Did the US target a sixteen year old kid? Nope. In fact, the only reason the drone strike took place was because they believed the kid was at another location. This was a military strike on an enemy combatant that had collateral damage.

I'm not gonna loose any sleep over this.
no. the original story was they attacked #2, and the kid was 'collateral'

it's now out that this kid was killed, specifically, in a separate attack two weeks later

the justification for this was he was the one masterminding the shoe bombings

you know, the bombings that started 2002, when the kid was 6
