[Report dated] 08/07/12 [Weapon used] 1 [Fatalities reported] 0 [Reported strike No.] OU108
On one sortie this week a Reaper crew observed positively identified insurgents with various weapons riding a motorcycle. Due to concerns regarding collateral damage the crew delayed the release of the weapon system until the insurgents were clear of the buildings. At this point the insurgents unexpectedly stopped within the vicinity of what was identified as an occupied area. Realising the risk of potential collateral damage the crew diverted the weapon to impact in a safe area. Later assessment confirmed that no injury to individuals or damage to infrastructure had occurred.
