Obama: Drones Killed Civilians

President Obama has acknowledged that U.S. attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles have killed civilians. “There’s no doubt that civilians were killed that shouldn’t have been,” Obama said during an April 1 press conference in Washington, D.C. He also said that such attacks are planned to avoid populous areas whenever possible. “We have been very cautious about … making sure that we are not taking strikes in situations where, for example, we think there is the presence of women or children,” Obama said.
