Today: Not-So-Smart Bombs. Vaping and Teens.
Not-So-Smart Bombs
It sounds so familiar: "Precision" airstrikes begin to rack up civilian casualties. This time it's the Saudis bombing Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Houthis aren't budging. "It's a disaster," one U.S. official says, bemoaning lack of "a realistic endgame." Al Qaeda's Yemen affiliate, meanwhile, is using the chaos to seize ground. The U.S. hopes more advisors and smart-bomb tech will help.
Boko Haram and the Smell of Death
"The whole town smelled of death,” said Mariam Adam, a midwife. “What really affected me is the way that we women had to bury the men. It’s something I’ll never forget in my life.” Few correspondents get accounts from towns ravaged by Boko Haram, the Nigerian extremist group. Our Africa correspondent, Robyn Dixon, learns the story from those who escaped. When Boko Haram took over a northern Nigerian city last year, men and boys as young as 10 were rounded up and shot, beheaded or burned alive. When the bloodbath stopped three days later, the streets were full of women pushing their dead sons, husbands, fathers and brothers in carts and wheelbarrows.
