#1 An AFP journalist who visited the chief's house later saw the impact of three projectiles which damaged windows.

This is Associated French Press so I guess I shouldn't be to hard on the journo or editor, but this barely literate english. It could mean the journo saw a couple of kids throw stones that broke windows.

#2 How am I supposed to enjoy my Christmas now knowing that our troops are running amok and damaging windows?

Thank God for these crack journalists out there reporting the truly important facts that we need to know to form educated opinions!

Or is that "journalists on crack"?
