Calls from Congress for an immediate investigation into reports that war secretary ordered a second strike on alleged drug-smuggling boat
There’s been a swift response from lawmakers following the reports. Republican-led committees overseeing the Pentagon have vowed to conduct “vigorous oversight” into the boat strikes.
Senate Armed Services Committee:“Has directed inquiries to the Department, and we will be conducting vigorous oversight to determine the facts related to these circumstances”.
House Armed Services Committee: “Is taking bipartisan action to gather a full accounting of the operation in question”.
And lawmakers on both sides, speaking on talk shows on Sunday, called for congressional review.
