Obama Administration Admits Drone Attacks Killed 4 US Citizens

The Obama administration's drone strikes have killed four U.S. citizens, it admitted on Wednesday.

In a letter to senior members of Congress, Attorney General Eric Holder writes that in addition to the targeted assassination of cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi, since 2009, three other U.S. citizens—Samir Khan, Abd aI-Rahman Anwar al-Aulaqi, and Jude Kenan Mohammed—were also killed in “U.S. counterterrorism operations” though they “were not specifically targeted.”
