In Pakistan, in attempts to target these 41 men, 142 children have lost their lives to drone strikes.
Jennifer Gibson, staff attorney at Reprieve, appears on Democracy Now! to discuss the new report, “You Never Die Twice: Multiple Kills in the U.S. Drone Program.”
A new report finds U.S. drone strikes kill 28 unidentified people for every intended target. While the Obama administration has claimed its drone strikes are precise, the group Reprieve found that strikes targeting 41 people in Yemen and Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 other, unnamed people. In its attempts to kill al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri alone, the CIA killed 76 children and 29 adults; Al-Zawahiri remains alive.
