Main Body
The U.S. military says the boat carried illegal drugs. The government wants to stop drugs from entering the U.S. Since September, 208 people died in these attacks. The military did not show proof of drugs on this boat.
美國軍方表示該船搭載了非法藥品。政府希望阻止藥品進入美國。自九月以來，這些攻擊已導致208人死亡。軍方並未提供該船搭載藥品的證據。
Some people say these attacks are not legal. They say most drugs come by land from Mexico, not by boat. In September, the military attacked people in the water. This is a big problem for some lawyers.
有些人認為這些攻擊是不合法的。他們表示大多數藥品是從墨西哥經陸路進入，而非通過船隻。九月時，軍方在水上攻擊了相關人員。對於某些律師來說，這是一個重大問題。
Now, a government office is checking the military's rules. They want to see if the military followed the correct steps. But they will not say if the attacks were legal or illegal.
目前，一個政府部門正在審查軍方的守則。他們想確認軍方是否遵循了正確的步驟。但他們不會說明這些攻擊是否合法。
Conclusion

美國軍方仍持續在拉丁美洲攻擊船隻。人們仍在爭論法律問題。
