Three people were observed running from the meeting house to a nearby house.

A U.S. Air Force F16 Fighting Falcon dropped two 500-pound GPS-guided bombs on the second house.

I'm impressed. That means they identified the house, checked to coordinates on a map, loaded those coordinates on the bomb (maybe in flight) and blew them up real good.

It takes a pretty amazing command and control infrastructure to make that sort of integrated operation work. You're right: it is very impressive.
