Fantasy world Silas?

"bin Laden's" location identified to within 12 miles by Afghan Intelligence in 2004.

"bin Laden's" location identified to the city/town they actually found "him" in in 2007.

"bin Laden's" compound identified in August 2010

"bin Laden's" presence confirmed and compound attacked on 2nd May 2011.

Now what was my fanasty world version again? Oh yes it ran something like this:

"I think in this case the compound had been under observation for quite some time. The numbers of men, women and children in the compound were known.

The men would definitely be classified as combatants (armed or not)

The women would be classified as potential combatants depending on what the observation team reported

The children would be classified as non-combatants
