These stories ALMOST always turn out to be complete bullshit and I can list a bunch of examples.

i.e.

The Iraq wedding attack story. Turns out those were actually bad guys.

The Iraq Apache 30mm engagement of 4 men in a field. Turns out they were trading arms and one guy in the unedited video can be seen trying to pull a MANPADS from a burlap bag before he's shot.

There have been several Pakistan predator missile attacks where locals make all sorts of claims and it turns out the ones making these claims are actually on the periphery, playing with the bad guys and just didn't happen to be squatting in the building when it was blown up.

And on and on and on..................

These stories usually surface because we give a high degree of credibility to incredible local sources, because make belief reporters and locals play up a concocted story and are themselves often involved in some bad stuff or simply looking for a scandalous story to sell........

And a dozen more about the Serbs, including photos taken for pure lying propoganda.

Islamics know all too well how to play this game.
