“An unnamed senior US official recounts the chain of events leading to the Wednesday strike to CNN. The drones which are nearly constantly overhead in the tribal region caught a glimpse of a short man on the roof of the home and determined that the man was likely diabetic.

The rest, as they say, is history.”
The man was likely diabetic? Was he taking insulin on the roof? Checking his blood sugar level?
Three: it’s history as usual in Helmand.
