Caribbean Fishermen Fear for Lives After Deadly US Strikes on Suspected Drug Boats

• Fishermen in St. Vincent and the Grenadines are urged to take precautions after a US strike killed three on a suspected drug boat.
• The US government confirmed strikes on three boats, killing three, but provided no evidence of drug ferrying.
• Former St. Vincent PM Ralph Gonsalves criticized the strike, stating, "Everybody is innocent until proven guilty."
• The strikes, which began in September, have killed at least 145 people and led to a wrongful death lawsuit by families of two Trinidad and Tobago fishermen.
• Critics question the legality of the strikes, with the ACLU calling them "lawless killings in cold blood."
