U.S. Drone Strike Accidentally killed two people

      My article is about Barack Obama recently announcing that in an effort of counterterrorism involving a drone, two innocent hostages were accidently killed including one American. Multiple U.S. officials informed CNN that the hostages were in fact killed by a U.S. Military drone that was targeting Al-Qaeda. The hostages were one American named Warren Weinstein and an Italian native named Giovanni Lo Porto. This took place earlier this week.

      Barack Obama's statement about this attack was: "As president and as commander in chief, I take full responsibility for all our counterterrorism operations including the one that inadvertently took the lives of Warren and Giovanni." He said this earlier this week in a White House briefing room. 

      This article was very interesting and talked about drones and how they can effect is positively and negatively. I learned that unmanned robotics such as drones can be dangerous but very helpful as well. This article related directly to our AP Gov class because it discusses

our international relations and the Presidents responsibilities and duties. I believe that drones are very useful, and mistakes will be made in figuring out how to use them correctly.
