Pete Hegseth could face a possible war crimes prosecution over a claim that he ordered a second strike to kill survivors of a U.S. missile attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.
The Pentagon chief insisted that all 11 people on board the boat should be killed, according to The Washington Post.
“The order was to kill everybody,” alleged two people with direct knowledge of the SEAL Team 6 operation targeting the waterborne drug smugglers.
Two people were reportedly clinging to the burning deck of the vessel destroyed by a U.S. rocket fired off the coast of Trinidad on September 2.
To comply with Hegseth’s order, the Special Ops commander in charge of the operation allegedly ordered a second strike and wiped out the survivors.
