Of course systemic intentional torture and murder is different from indiscriminate bombing from an aircraft. But surely pilots and most of those concerned "knew" that civilian deaths were likely, were probable. Thus, these persons were reckless, and reckelessness (at least under new zealand law) is murder:
'167 Murder definedCulpable homicide is murder in each of the following cases:
(a) if the offender means to cause the death of the person killed:
(b) if the offender means to cause to the person killed any bodily injury that is known to the offender to be likely to cause death, and is reckless whether death ensues or not:'
