I didn’t realise this, maybe because I haven’t been on the web much because I only flew home yesterday, but there was only one kid on the bus and the driver.
As usual this small detail doesn’t seem to be reported that heavily especially in international sources. It appears in the penultimate paragraph of the NYT report for example. Just another thing to remember when the discrepancy between casualties on both sides is thrown at us.
This attack was intended to kill 30 kids and it would have if they’d been on board.
