US Airstrikes Kill Four in Caribbean Boat Attack US Airstrikes Kill Four in Caribbean Boat Attack The US military has carried out a deadly airstrike on a boat accused of smuggling narcotics in the Caribbean, according to Southcom.

We've spent all that time under an arms embargo, so no one knows what can happen..." See article on SVT News.
