Was boat attack a war crime? Extrajudicial killings violate international law

They could have boarded that thing instead of blowing those guys away like that.

After all, those packages didn't have to contain drugs, could have been money. However, the thing I find most likely given the direction the boat was headed is dried shark's fin. There's a bloody business going on in the Caribbean Sea of people cutting the dorsal fins off live sharks and leaving the sharks to die slowly. The fins are worth quite a lot of money in Asia, where they are turned into a gelatinous soup.

Whatever they were up to, that boat had a lot of speed but not much range.
