Admiral says boat targeted in deadly strike was headed toward South America — not the US Story by Carl Gibson The alleged drug boat at the center of a developing controversy was not on a course toward the United States, according to a new report. CNN reported Friday that during his recent closed-door session with lawmakers about the September 2 boat strike, Admiral Frank M. Bradley — who was the commander overseeing the mission – said the boat in question was actually headed toward Suriname, on the northern coast of South America. Two of CNN's unnamed sources who have "direct knowledge" of the admiral's comments said Bradley testified that the boat was on a path to another vessel, where it was expected to transfer drugs on board toward its final destination. The network cited drug enforcement experts, who said that trafficking routes via Suriname are typically bound for Europe, whereas drug shipments to the U.S. are typically concentrated in the Pacific Ocean. Admiral Bradley's testimony counters President Donald Trump's official justification for the ongoing boat strikes in the Caribbean Sea, in which 86 people have been killed in 22 total strikes this year. Both Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have maintained that the strikes are necessary to prevent the flow of drugs into the U.S. "The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States," Trump wrote on Truth Social of the September 2 strike.
