Bryant, a national security analyst and former senior advisor on civilian casualties at the Pentagon, reviewed the new satellite images and concluded that all the buildings, including the school, were hit by &lsquo;perfectly precise&rsquo; strikes.Bryant, who has been critical of the Trump administration, believes that the most likely explanation is &lsquo;target misidentification,&rsquo; meaning that the attackers struck the location without knowing that a large number of civilians were inside.
