Wasn't it right next to a military base, and previously used as part of that military base? And therefore a reasonable part of the targeting list that should've gotten more scrutiny but just didn't?
This feels like someone wanted to slander the US military actions, could only find one unambiguously negative thing, so then they pontificated on that.

  As far as I know, yes. However, it was not quite adjacent but rather within the military base.

  After first looking at the map, I was quite surprised as it wasn't mentioned in the news.
  Why is a school basically located on a military area, and not in a residential area?
