The report to which I linked earlier has several pieces accompanying it. As Chris Woods of the Bureau describes them, they are:
  • The full data, and the sources for the original claims that rescuers and mourners were attacked (available here)
  • A background piece on the possible legal status of such attacks (opinions from Harvard's Naz Modirzadeh and Oxford's Dapo Akande) (available here)
  • Three eyewitness testimonies--two confirming attacks, another disproving a strike hit rescuers as first alleged. There's also an interview with Joby Warrick of the Washington Post relating to a planned CIA attack on a funeral (available here)

Benjamin Wittes is editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of several books.
