Surely to qualify as a bomber you actually have to be able hit your target?

And carpet bombing doesn't count!

The published report that I've seen was from the Cyprus Times. Locals understandably concerned, esp so soon after many Iraqis killed by falling "friendly" missile. Mention of hard landing a possible cause. From the local angle this is almost a preferred reason rather than "just fell off"
