U.S. Drone Kills 2 Hostages
On Thursday, President Barack Obama announced that in January a U.S. drone killed 2 hostages. One of the hostages was an American named Warren Weinstein, and the other man was an Italian named Giovanni Lo Porto. The drone that killed the two man was intended for an al-Qaeda compound but they did kill two Americans that were affiliated with al-Qaeda in the same region. An al-Qaeda leader who was American was also killed in that attack. Obama takes full responsibility of the attack and never meant to harm any American citizen but he did take out high ranking officials in al-Qaeda. There was said to be bad intelligence because there was no reason to believe that there was hostages there so that's why they made the attack. One CNN official said that Obama never really approved the operation but it did happen and he takes responsibility.
