    The problem with explosions is that they injure everyone nearby, not just the person with the explosion in their pocket.

      You can look up the videos. People standing three feet away are fine while the person with the pager is down for the count. Innocents are always harmed in war, but this was about as precise and just a strike as humanly possible.

        I’m sure that’ll make that girl’s friends and remaining family feel much better.

        The explosions had to happen at the same time to be effective, and so people who were being attacked were in a variety of places. Detonating explosives in an uncontrolled variety of public places is not precise.
