This particular sad event has not made a big splash so far in media here, so far as I know. Condolences to the families and mates of all concerned.
As has been stated in a previous post "Friendly Fire" isn't and there should be a better name for it.
In past unfortunate experience the USAF has had a number of, for no better term, Friendly Fire incidents ... several US special operations people and locals were killed earlier in this little "police action". Since they drop the bulk of the tonnage maybe they have more opportunity to mess up. I do know that when U.S. ground pounders call in air they love to have Marines, they like having Navy. They take USAF if that is what is available. If the PPRUNE report is correct in it's particulars and F-16s were involved in fairness to the aircrew involved , who probably feel terrible about it, the F-16 has been modded and ECP'd to get to a half decent air/ground capability that wasn't designed in from the start.
