Unlucky.
I'm no elite soldier but the last thing I would be throwing about in a hostage situation is a grenade. Stun/flash grenade, yes but I don't think that would be enough to kill the person ?

We're always so bloody keen to harp on about the SAS being the best in the world, and then we let the US Army (otherwise known as Collateral Damage Inc.) rescue one of ours. Not sure I'm following that.

This story is about fragmentation grenades though.

It says they acted "based on the intelligence they had received," so my guess is that they didn't know they threw a grenade in her lap.

Yeah well, it's all easy to judge from your comfy chair, the reality however might be less black and white than you may think.

Frags have very little penetrating power, so you can safely clear a room in a mud/clay/brick building without fear of injuring civilians in adjoining rooms. Obviously that requires you to know exactly where your friends are - which I'm guessing they didn't (but probably thought they did).
