Thoughts?
Links to pictures? Yes they could've hucked them off in the desert or over water, or just jettisoned them. The pods, could be rocket pods, in which case the media just used the blanket "bomb" for any air attack. "Strafe" isn't in a lot of peoples vocabulary either, which would have been the choice for low collateral damage.
