I searched Google News the only two recently announced airstrikes were the one in Pakistan which killed Atwah... and the one on the 41 Taliban.
I could be missing others.
Yeah, the use of the word "bombardment" sounds like an airstrike, but keep in mind these are grieving family members. And it sounds as if the source of this information may well be another terrorist. So I'd view it with a grain of salt.
However the Americans (or whomever) did it... well done!
