Democrats press for expanding inquiry into Caribbean boat strike

Democrats have stepped up their demands to expand the inquiries underway in Congress into a U.S. military attack that killed two alleged drug smugglers who survived an initial strike on their boat.

The push comes after a select group of lawmakers Thursday reviewed a video of the Sept. 2 operation in the Caribbean Sea and were briefed on Capitol Hill by Adm. Frank M. Bradley, the commander who oversaw it. Democrats said they want a public hearing and access to documents related to the incident.
