This is difficult. On the one hand, it's not unlikely some officer looking to score points cherry picked intel to kill an innocent. On the other hand, this guy works for an NGO, so no love lost here, but also water canisters are commonly used in bombs.

He could be an innocent, bad target. He could be an NGO worker, meh target. He could be a bomb maker, good target. He could be an NGO worker making bombs or even a western intelligence asset, and at that level of spy games it's impossible to make a moral judgement from the outside except to condemn the GAE for fucking up again.
