Notwithstanding heated emotions directed contrary to the US worldwide as a result of civilian deaths from US drones, the attacks have continued. On December 12 an American UAV "mistakenly" murdered 17 people attending a marriage in Yemen. Images from local media surfaced a week ago on social networking depicting graphic consequences of the deadly mistake. Criticism and debate online over the utilization of drones in Yemen has widened whilst the attack has been dissected.
Citing local security authorities, Reuters reports that people attending the wedding "were killed in an air strike after their party was mistaken for an al-Qaida convoy."
