A problem with this page. edit

The page used to claim a Dutch F16 dropped the cluster bombs. It based this on a source, no 4 in the notes. A BBC article about Dutch ex-PM Wim Kok testifying in a trial brought by victims against the Dutch state asking for compensation. The article does not actually claim it was a Dutch plane, nor do the quotes from the trial say such a thing.

Other sources, from Dutch papers actually claim no Dutch planes where part of this particular strike. They also show that the trial for compensation was not based upon direct Dutch responsibility, but part of several trials against NATO and its members, based upon a shared responsibility.

So, I removed this: "The cluster bombs had been dropped by Royal Netherlands Air Force.[4]", this: "Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16" and the now useless source.
