They may have some idea, but they definitely don’t know for sure— there could very well be innocent people on the boat. I’m not sure why arrests are not an option in these cases. It would be great press to announce “x kilos of cocaine captured”, “6 drug smugglers apprehended”

Instead it’s just “boat bombed, terrorists killed, drugs destroyed” with no proof that they’re terrorists or that there are drugs.

That’s why arrests are not an option.

The proof would be the drugs on the boat. Unless they're bombing alleged drug dealers on pleasure cruises.

There aren’t drugs on the boat.

It’s not dissimilar to George Bush’s weapons of mass destruction lie.
