I've edited my comment above to clarify an ambiguity. The Daily Mail article isn't the original source of the news story, but it's the textual source that the submitted URL is plagiarizing off of.

Given the video in the link that you sent - I wouldn't say that it's "accidental" - they said they killed anyone who met the "criteria" and the "criteria" was anyone who touched a walki talki because the Talian has taken the phones offline and they suspected ISIS was communicating via walki talki. This was described as basically killing for the sake of killing (agree) - but accidental makes it sound a lot less sinister.

They are describing a particular incident when they were aiming at a man carrying a walky-talky, but the missile instead struck a different motorcycle with two adults and toddler. So killing those three people were accidental.
