LONDON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- U.S. drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan have killed 28 people for every intended target, a British human rights advocacy group said Tuesday.
A report by the London- and New York-headquartered group Reprieve said as many as 1,147 unidentified people have been killed in drone strikes since 2002 in failed attempts to kill 41 identified people. It provides an estimate of those killed each time the United States hunts what is regards as a "high value target," and notes 76 children and 29 adults were killed in drone strikes targeting al-Qaida leader Ayman al Zawahiri on two occasions, who survived.
