According to the Americans, a bomb is a weapon off mass destruction, since it will indiscriminately kill those in the vicinity.
By that logic, throwing a hand grenade into a city bus would qualify as a weapon of mass destruction.
But it appears that the explosive missiles that the American military fire from drones into Afghan and Pakistani wedding parties,
are not considered weapons of mass destruction.
Go figure.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

perhaps if they didn't allow all their wedding guests to carry fully automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenade launchers... the drones wouldn't fire on them. just a thought.
as for bombs being placed on the ground and being filled with projectiles designed to cause massive injuries... not kill... well... who cares if it's a wmd or not.
