Is there any proof for this article's statements that the Clinton administration targeted Al-Attar intentionally in retaliation for a George Bush mural?

According to Steve Coll's Ghost Wars, (ISBN: 1-59420-007-6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Wars), Al-Attar's house was struck by accident and her death disturbed Clinton deeply, leading him to second-guess other missile strikes later on.

This inflammatory and unsourced statement should be removed immediately. I will do so unless a citation can be found and posted to the page. Editors, please advise.

I found out what happened to her daughter, but can we use this source?

edit

Her daughter's name is Rema and aid workers saved her life. She eventually came to the Canada & USA for facial reconstruction surgery and now lives in the Bay Area. However, since so few English language sources exist on the deaths of Al-Attar and the wounding of her daughter, the only sources we have to rely on are anti-war sites or sites that some editors might believe are one-sided or too POV. This article may not be entirely even-handed but it has some real facts about the case that other editors might be able to cross-reference. Can we use it at least to name the daughter and describe the aftermath? I'd like some input. I became interested due to Kris Kristofferson's song about her.
