PHOENIX – Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona said that if new reports about a secondary military strike to kill suspected drug smugglers at sea are true, it “seems to” be a war crime.

During an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Kelly was asked if killing the survivors of an initial missile strike on a suspected drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean Sea would constitute a war crime.

“It seems to,” Kelly responded. “If that is true, if what has been reported is accurate, I’ve got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command and stepping over a line that they should never step over.”
