Obama, US President, ordered his first drone attack and killed eighteen civilians in Pakistan

16

years ago

24 January 2009,

President Obama ordered his first drone strike. The one who was to be attacked against the Taliban in Pakistan ended up being anti-civilians bombing two houses. Eighteen civilians were killed, three of them children.

The use of drone strikes was one of the features of Obama’s mandate, making Barack Obama the authority that most people have killed through drone in the history of the world. George W. Bush prescribed 50 drone strikes, Obama 563.
